Arturo Vidal believes that Barcelona owe him 2.4 million euros

Arturo Vidal believes that Barcelona owe him an amount summing up to €2.4 million. However, the Catalans are not willing to pay this amount to the Chilean midfielder. Barcelona believe that the player has not played the required amount of games to be worthy enough of the bonus. The club also believes that LaLiga would support them in this matter and not the player. However, irrespective of the club's stand, Vidal has reportedly filed a complaint to recover his bonus. He has also hinted of a possible departure from the club in the January 2020 transfer window. While speaking to ADN, Vidal stated that he was not in charge of dealings with the club.
