Vidal one step away from Bayern Munich
Turin: Juventus’s Chilean international midfielder Arturo Vidal is reportedly one step away from joining German football champions Bayern Munich for a deal valued at 35 million euros ($38 million).
The imminence of Vidal’s signing was revealed when “the warrior” informed his family in this regard and his agent, Fernando Felicevich, postponed his Monaco vacation, Efe reported on Thursday.
It was reported that the Bavarian giants are ready to offer a five-year contract, valued at 6.5 million euros (around $ 7 million) per season, in addition to the 30 million euros ($32.6 million) the club has already offered Juventus.
It was noted that Juventus initially asked for 45 million euros (around $49 million), but dropped the offer to 40 million euros ($43.5 million) on Wednesday afternoon; it is thought that the two sides will meet somewhere in the middle, closer to the 35 million-euro mark, plus added bonuses.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
