After 17 years, Arturo Vidal, who is nicknamed ‘The King’, returned to the club where he was born in 2005, Colo-Colo of Chile, after being close to signing with América de Cali and Boca Juniors.
As ‘his majesty’ he was received at the David Arellano Monumental Stadium, completely full of white fans waiting for the official presentation of the two-time Copa América champion.
Vidal surprised everyone by arriving by helicopter, in addition to getting on a horse dressed as a king with epic music in the background. These were the events.
After passing through teams such as Juventus, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Inter Milan, Vidal returned to South America in 2022 to play in Brazil. Now, after being freed from Athletico Paranaense, at 36 years old he was able to return to Chile.
The ‘king’ could make his official debut in the Chilean Super Cup against Huachipato. In addition, he will face the preliminary phase of the Copa Libertadores and the First Division of Chile.
