Piece of News: Where is going to play this next season, the 'King Arthur'?



Juventus or Man Udt?



1.- What is your piece of news about?
My piece of news is about where the football player Arturo Vidal is going to be this next season 2014-2015. Many international journalists say that he is going to stay at Juventus, but Manchester United is willing to pay as much as they can, to have the 'King Arthur' in his team. Whatever all what we all now is that were he is going to play is a mistery
3A.- Write down a summary of each of those sources (2 to 3 lines)

According to the UK news station, Louis Van Gaal (DT of Man Utd) wants the chilean midfielder player without excuse, and that is why Man Utd. offers £47m to have him in his team the player who can be the top sign in the football club. But Juventus who is agree with the offer of Man Utd, is convinced that he is going to stay at Italy, and that if they sold him, if because he ask to do it

3B.- Take note of 2 or 3 comments made by one of the people involved in the the sources you chose. Write the name of the person who said that. 
a)Allegri DT of Juventus said "Vidal will stay here and he's very happy about this, I spoke with him about his fitness, we're happy he will stay with us"
b) Juventus: "(...)If he doesn't show an intention to leave, our position won't change."
c) Express.co.uk News: According to reports in Chile, the World Cup star has verbally agreed to join United.

The idea is that in your own News Report you are able to refer to those comments by using reported speech.
4.- Put together 3 ideas that you would like to include in your own news report.
a) Manchester want Vidal without excuse, willing to pay as much Juventus want
b) Juventus dont want to sell the chilean player, but with the £47m of Man Udt, the only thing that separes Vidal of Old Stratford is his own agreement 
c) Today off is a mistery the team that "King Arthur" will defend on this new season, but some reports around the world says that Vidal has a "verbally agreed" with the Red Devils Team
5.- Get ready to prepare your own news report and upload the previous information on your website.

Juventus or Man Utd?
The "King Arthur" is choosing his kingdom, and no one knows where he is going to be this next season.
Until now Arturo Vidal, is the midfielder of Juventus, where he won 3 times the italian calcio. Also with his excellent participation on the Chilean team, was more than enough to have the attention of the greatest teams in Europe, especially Man Udt who according to what his DT, Louis Van Gaal needs, they want without excuse the chilean player. 
But that is not easy work because, Juventus knowing that Man Udt is willing to pay £47m, does not want to sell Vidal, but they accepted that if he doesn't show an intention to leave, they wont sell him. Also Allegri DT of Juventus, declared that Vidal will stay in the club and they are happy with that, but recently international reports say that Vidal has a verbal agreement  with the Red Devils Team
It seems that this year, with the arrival of Alexis Sanchez on Arsenal, and the imminent sign of Vidal on Man Udt, we will have a Premier League with a lot of chileans, but this is something that only the time will tell us.
