Arturo Vidal (Bayern Munich)

Vidal has made headlines in recent weeks for an array of things. From being charged for allegedly taking part in a Berlin nightclub brawl and following that up with a trip to Italy for vacation amid speculation he’s looking to leave Bayern, the Chilean midfielder is certainly having an interesting end to another great season.

The 31-year-old Vidal has loads of club and international experience. Vidal, who left Juventus in 2015 after four seasons at the club, also has what it takes to succeed in Serie A. Knowing how Juve operate would certainly help Ancelotti’s quest to topple them as Italian champions. That intel, coupled with his hardworking style and ability to aid both the defense and midfield, is the sort of dynamic player this team need as they rebuilds. He could also replace Jorginho, who is set to leave the club this summer.

He would work perfectly in a three-man midfield if Ancelotti were to use a 4-3-3. At Juve, he formed the heart of the midfield alongside Andrea Pirlo and Claudio Marchisio to much success. Vidal can also tackle, regain possession of the ball and generate offense. There’s no reason any team wouldn’t want his services.
