'Only 13 professional players!' - Vidal hits out at Barcelona but rules out Real Madrid move

Arturo Vidal has taken what could be a parting shot at Barcelona, claiming they've only had "13 professional players" in recent times but stressing he'd never join arch rivals Real Madrid.

Vidal, 33, has been deemed expendable at Camp Nou with new manager Ronald Koeman not naming him as one of his key players moving forward.

The Chile international has been linked with a return to Juventus with fellow Serie A side Inter reportedly circling as well.
