Leverkusen will receive a fee of €10.5M in three installments from the Bianconeri (€5M this summer, €3M by the end of June 2012, €2.5M on 31st December 2012) but could net a further €2M depending upon Juventus’ performances during the player’s time at the club.

Vidal was also targeted by Leverkusen’s Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich, but the BayArena side remained adamant that the starlet would not head to the Allianz Arena.
The Chile international has signed a five-year contract with Juventus.
