Vidal: I want to stay at Juventus

The Chile international has no interest in leaving
the Bianconeri for pastures new on the back of a
match-winning performance on Wednesday night

Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal has revealed he is
ready to sign a new contract with the club and
says there is no chance of him leaving Turin.

The Chile international scored a hat-trick on
Wednesday night as the Bianconeri ran out 3-1
winners over FC Copenhagen to keep their hopes
of qualification to the knockout stages of the
Champions League intact.

Vidal has been linked with several of Europe's
biggest clubs in recent times, on the back of his
rise to prominence with Juve, but with the January
transfer window looming on the horizon he insists
moving is the last thing on his mind.

"I am happy at Juventus and I want to stay here.

I'm ready to sign," he told reporters. "The
beginning of next week should be a good time to
announce my new contract."

Having scored the first hat-trick of his career in
midweek, the 26-year-old also admitted the
number of goals he has scored for Juve - he now
has 10 in 18 games this season - has come as a
surprise.

"I never expected to be able to score so many,"
the former Bayer Leverkusen man continued. "I
remember when I first arrived at Juventus, Antonio
Conte spoke to me about a new way of playing and
it's worked well for me."

Vidal joined Juve from Leverkusen in the summer
of 2011 for a reported €10.5 million, with his
current deal set to expire in June 2016.
