Barcelona midfielder fumes out of training after speculated El Clasico snub

Barcelona midfielder fumes out of the training held on Tuesday after reported to start from the bench against the fierce rivals Real Madrid.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are set to play the first El Clasico of the season and all the excitement around the arguably the biggest league in the world is all set.

But amidst all this, a surprising update kicked in, according to a report by the ESPN, Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal stormed out of Tuesday’s training session after learning he would not start against Real Madrid on Wednesday.

Vidal is among the last players to leave the training pitches at Barcelona, as claimed by the ESPN but he left the pitch earlier than usual when he found out that he won’t be starting against Los Blancos.

Further, several players tried to comfort Vidal but the Chilean international, who the club fear could now push for a January move away from Camp Nou, could not be calmed down.

Inter Milan is ready to sign Vidal in order to accomplish their dreams of winning Serie A. Nerazzurris’ coach Antonio Conte wishes to reunite with his former key midfielder at Juventus.

On the other hand, Inter Milan has been pursuing Vidal for a long period of time. It has been reported that the Italian giants can reduce the sum for Lauroto Martinez in return of Vidal, as the Blaugranas are planning to capture him.

Barcelona is aware of comments he made in Chile last month when he said if he wasn’t playing and didn’t feel important he would have to move on.

Since then, he’s started just once — a meaningless match against Inter in the Champions League — and has seen Ivan Rakitic, who had previously made just one start in 17 games, return to the team ahead of him.
