Vidal urges Sanchez to join Bayern

Bayern Munich midfielder Arturo Vidal urged
Arsenal star and Chile team-mate Alexis Sanchez
to join the Bundesliga giants.
Sanchez, 28, has been linked with a move to
Bayern, while Manchester City and Chelsea are
also reportedly interested in the forward.
Vidal, who joined Bayern in 2015 and has won
back-to-back Bundesliga titles, said he had told
Sanchez to make the move.
"I said it was an opportunity for him to be on a big
team," he told reporters on Tuesday.
"If you want to compare with the best, you have to
go to the best team in the world."
Arsenal's failure to qualify for the Champions
League also led to intense speculation over
Sanchez's future with the Chilean contracted until
mid-2018.
Vidal will get further chances to convince Sanchez
to join Bayern as the pair prepare for the
Confederations Cup in Russia.
Drawn to face Cameroon, Australia and Germany in
Group B, Chile are aiming to add to their 2015 and
2016 Copa America successes.
"Portugal and Germany are the strongest teams,"
Vidal said. "We also have our strong team, a team
that has been playing for a long time and has
already won two trophies."
