"They were two years sharing many things and you made yourself notice a lot, the dressing room will miss you, @ kingarturo23oficial. I wish you all the best in this new stage at your new club. We will cross paths again, for sure," he added.
Vidal has already arrived in Milan. "@kingarturo23 has landed in Milan!" Inter Milan tweeted.
