Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal would welcome Alexis Sanchez to the club with open arms if he were to leave Barcelona.
Sanchez has been struggling to find his best form at Barca this term and the Serie A leaders are reportedly looking to sign him.
And Vidal would love to play alongside his fellow Chilean in Turin.
I do not know whether Alexis will come to Juventus, but I would be pleased if he did, Vidal told Tuttosport.
Vidal said he had no intention to leave Juve any time soon, despite Bayern Munich s interest in him.
Can I promise the fans that I will stay at Juventus this summer? Yes, that s 100 percent certain, he said.
I still have a contract for three more years.

that Galatasaray are ready to make a move for Manchester United striker Dimitar Berbatov.
The former Tottenham man has fallen well down the pecking order at Old Trafford in the last season or two and the Turkish club are ready to give him a fresh challenge.
Looking back at Berbatov s Manchester United career, he has had his positive moments he won the golden boot in the 2010/2011 season for example but he has had far too much time on the bench.
This has led to plenty of speculation about his future over the last few months and Galatasaray are the latest to show an interest.
Club president Unal Aysal has this week said: The Bulgarian is a great forward. I want him to join us but, of course, coach Fatih Terim has the final word.
Should Galatasar…

Paris Saint-Germain boss Thomas Tuchel has refuted suggestions Kylian Mbappe is difficult to manage.
Mbappe appeared to ignore Tuchel when he was substituted towards the end of last weekend s Ligue 1 win away to Montpellier, a 3-1 comeback victory in which the France international scored his team s second goal.
He played the entire game against Galatasaray in midweek – scoring his side s fourth goal in a resounding 5-0 win – and Tuchel is adamant the smart 20-year-old does not cause him any problems.
Asked if the forward could be difficult, Tuchel told a media conference: No we talk too much about that. Kylian always wants to play. Sometimes he is disappointed and he shows it.
Perhaps you have the impression that he is not easy to manage. But no. It…

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has backed Cristiano Ronaldo to break the 20-goal barrier for a third successive season.
The Portuguese star, who racked up 42 last time round as United romped to a Premier League and Champions League double, has 13 to his name so far.
People are saying Cristiano has not had a good season but he has got 13 goals and 11 assists, said Ferguson.
If you dismiss last season altogether they would be saying it is incredible for a winger to score 13 at this stage. I am absolutely certain he will end up with over 20 again.
Ferguson added that it was impossible for Ronaldo, now one of the most heavily-marked players in the Premier League, to repeat his miracle season of 2007/2008 when he was also named world player of th…

While the red-hot Mauro Icardi might have dragged Galatasaray level from the penalty spot on the half-hour mark, Thomas Tuchel’s squad certainly enjoyed a real second-half flurry on foreign soil.
Watching England skipper Harry Kane extend on his remarkable start to life in Munich after notching his 11th goal of the season just 17 minutes before the final whistle, it was eventually 20-year-old Jamal Musiala who wra…
