❌ Colo Colo turn down Pachuca bid: Arturo Vidal stays put | OneFootball

Taking advantage of the opportunity provided by their participation in the resounding 2025 Club World Cup, which begins next weekend, Club Pachuca aimed to make a splash in the market.

The Tuzos made an offer for Arturo Vidal, the experienced Chilean midfielder, who after his remarkable European career returned in 2024 to Colo Colo, the club where he began his professional football career, in order to start closing the circle of his career.

And for now, it seems that will be the case, because Colo Colo rejected Pachuca's offer.

The 'King' stays with the Cacique

According to César Luis Merlo, Pachuca wanted to have Vidal exclusively for the Club World Cup, in which they will participate in group H, with rivals such as Al Hilal, Real Madrid, and RB Salzburg.

The Mexican club might have wanted to tempt the Chilean, familiar with opponents of such caliber, but undoubtedly it would be a problem for Colo Colo in sporting terms, as they would be left without their main leader and captain, during a crisis moment for a team that, despite rumors and upheavals, remains ultimately under the command of Jorge Almirón, and has ahead the pursuit of the league title.
