News that shook all of Chile. Last Monday, July 10th, it was revealed that Arturo Vidal had made the decision to leave Flamengo a year after his arrival in Brazilian football. This was confirmed by the Chilean media, which indicated that the “King” would be a new contender for Paranaense by the end of 2023. Likewise, it has been revealed that one of the reasons why the midfielder left Fla is due to his bad relationship with Jorge Sampaoli.
According to Mauricio Pinilla, a former soccer player and former team-mate of Vidal’s in the Chilean side, the few minutes he played at Mengao and his poor relationship with the Argentine strategist prompted a change of scenery.
“Confirmation of this news has not yet come out and it was already smelled around that he was not happy. He wanted to add minutes. His return to Brazil from Europe said that. He reached a Copa Libertadores, added minutes to droppers and also betrayed an injury out there,” the commentator said.

“Certainly the relationship has worn off in a short time and that is why in a short time Arturo decides to pick up his bags and leave. According to the information I have, the relationship hasn’t been one of the best, especially recently. Arturo was disappointed with what he experienced,” explained Pinilla.
