No Real Madrid bid for Vidal, says Marotta

The Juve chief has denied reports that Rafa Benitez's side have made an offer, and says it will be hard to replace Andrea Pirlo
 
Juventus CEO Giuseppe Marotta has denied reports that Real Madrid have made an official offer for Arturo Vidal.

The midfielder, 28, has long been linked with a potential switch to the Spanish capital and reports on Monday suggested Madrid had formalised their interest with a bid.

Marotta, however, told reporters: "Vidal? It's just rumours, Real Madrid have not come forward. We have a great relationship with them."

Monday finally saw Andrea Pirlo's move to New York City from Juventus confirmed and Marotta conceded it will be tough to replace the Italy veteran.

"Today is a day of great nostalgia for Pirlo. Replacing him won't be easy - there are few born like him - but we'll try," he added.

Vidal will soon return to Juve for pre-season training following his successful Copa America on home soil with Chile.
