10 most expensive signings by Bayern Munich

#3 Arturo Vidal - €37 million

Vidal is a vital cog in the Bayern machine

Arturo Vidal, the Chilean star, is in his second stint in Bundesliga, this time with a new club in Bayern Munich, after his previous spell at Bayer Leverkusen. One of the best box-to-box midfielders in the planet, Vidal signed a 4-year deal from Juventus for €37 million and was brought in as a replacement for Bastian Schweinsteiger who joined Manchester United last summer.

Vidal had a fairly impressive debut season with him being instrumental in the UEFA Champions League, which Bayern reached the semis. A physical player with gifted technique, Vidal is the ideal type of player Ancelotti, the new Bayern manager, loves to have in his midfield to control the game for Bayern.
