Nicola Berti believes Inter will be at the same level as Serie A champions Juventus if they complete a reported swoop for ex-Bianconeri star Arturo Vidal.
Inter have already brought in Radja Nainggolan this off-season, but they continue to be linked with other elite midfielders including World Cup Golden Ball winner Luka Modric and a deal for Bayern Munich s Vidal is said to be close.
Juventus have bolstered their own squad with the sensational signing of Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid, but former Inter man Berti claims Vidal s arrival would put the Nerazzurri on par with Massimiliano Allegri s side.
Vidal at Inter would be super, Berti told La Tercera. If we sign him, I will be very excited.
35 410 Arturo scored 35 goals and won 410 tackles between the 2011-12 and 2014-15 Serie A campaigns, the most of any midfielder during this period. Warrior.

I like him very much as a player. He likes to score, to get around the pitch. He is a player who gives a lot, who fights each ball. I hope it is true that he is signing.
He will contribute a lot, as a player and as a leader. With Vidal, we will be at the same level as Juventus. I assure you. We are going to fight the Scudetto and I hope that we also play a good role in the Champions League.
On the prospect of a Vidal-Nainggolan pairing in midfield, Berti added: Imagine! They are two great players, with great quality and energy.
