Bayern Munich have completed the signing of Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal for a fee in the region of €40 million (£28m).
The Bundesliga champions already announced last week that they had reached an agreement with the Bianconeri and that Vidal only had to pass his medical before signing a contract with Bayern.
The 28-year-old touched down in Munich on Monday evening and he successfully underwent a medical on Tuesday morning, signing a four-year deal before being presented to the press at 15.30BST on Tuesday. . @kingarturo23has signed a deal until 2019 with #FCBayern.

The Bavarians previously attempted to lure Vidal to the Allianz Arena in 2011, but he eventually left Bayer Leverkusen for Juventus instead. Bayern have kept close tabs on him ever since, though, and have now gotten their man at last. The versatile midfielder started his professional career with Colo Colo, before arriving in the Bundesliga with Leverkusen in 2007. Over his four year spell in Turin, he won four Serie A titles and the Coppa Italia, with his final game for the team coming in the Champions League final defeat to Barcelona.
