Arturo Vidal wants fellow Chile international Alexis Sanchez to join him at Bayern Munich. The pair have played together for their country's youth sides right through to the senior team and at club level for Colo-Colo between 2006 and 2007.

Arsenal forward Sanchez has been linked with a move away from the Premier League this summer and Vidal is hoping that Bayern will be heading the queue for his services.

Speaking after Bayern's Bundesliga win over Schalke at the weekend, Vidal told reporters: 'We've played together since the Under-20 international team, so it would be nice to play with him.'

Bayern are currently top of the table with 78 points and chasing a fourth consecutive league title. They are also through to the final of the German Cup after beating Werder Bremen 2-0 on Monday night.

Midfielder Vidal, who joined from Juventus last summer, is targeting a treble with a Champions League semi-final against Atletico Madrid also to contend.

The 28-year-old added: 'The team is winning and is going really well.

'The Bundesliga is our top priority and we'll be focused on Saturday to secure the title. But the triple is what we want and is our goal.'

Bayern manager Pep Guardiola is approaching the end of his final season in charge.

The Spaniard confirmed earlier this term that he would leave Bavaria in the summer to take over from Manuel Pellegrini at Manchester City.

Former Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea and AC Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti was confirmed as Guardiola's successor in December last year.
