Berlin, July 29: Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has ruled out the possibility of star midfielder Arturo Vidal leaving the club amid reports of Inter Milan preparing an offer for the Chilean.

The Nerazzurri have been linked with a €50 million move for the former Juventus midfielder as they look to improve their squad and mount a challenge for the Serie A title.

Inter Milan have seen a serious influx of money in recent years but they are yet to find the formula for success once again and are moving heaven and earth in order to bolster their squad. But, Rummenigge has warned the Italian giants that the 30-year-old is not for sale.

Carlo Ancelotti previously told the San Siro outfit to give up on trying to land the Chilean, Rummenigge has since echoed the Bayern boss' thoughts by insisting they would turn down all bids for the star man.

"I can 100 per cent rule out Arturo's departure, for us he is a fundamental player," he told reporters.

"I have not heard from anyone at Inter so far, I just read what has been written.

"The decision to continue with Vidal was taken long ago. Ancelotti talked with him: the door is 100 per cent closed.

“This is regardless of the offer: when Bayern decide not to sell a player, the fee does not matter."

Bayern have seen another midfielder linked with a move to the same city, as AC Milan have shown an interest in Renato Sanches, though the club's CEO Marco Fassone stated negotiations have broken down because of the asking price.

Although the Bundesliga giants are open to letting the Portugese midfielder go out on loan, he could play a part for Ancelotti's team in the future.

"We are considering his situation," Rummenigge said.

"He wants to play consistently but at Bayern Munich that is not easy. We will discuss it with Carlo, there is still time, no hurry."
