Heynckes bins Vidal's Chelsea move
Jupp Heynckes said Saturday there had been no contact between Bayern Munich and Chelsea over Arturo Vidal and the Chilean international would not be sold during the January transfer window.
The veteran coach was responding to media reports over a possible transfer of the midfielder, which Heynckes dismissed as "pure speculation".
"Certainly, there's been no contact between the clubs," Heynckes said at a press conference at the Aspire Zone in Doha where the Bundesliga leaders are on a winter training camp.
“It's just speculation. Arturo Vidal is very motivated, he's a top player and we need him at his very best if Bayern is to play well."
Media reports in Britain and South America had linked the 30-year-old with a move to London in order to reunite with Chelsea coach Antonio Conte, who he played under at Juventus.
