Arturo Vidal encourages Roma's David Pizarro to join Juventus

Juventus midfielder Arturo Vidal has encouraged Roma's David Pizarro to join him at the Serie A table-topper.

The Turin giant is allegedly keen to add the 32-year-old playmaker to its ranks in the January transfer window, and Vidal would be delighted to see his compatriot end up at the Bianconeri.

"He [Pizarro] is a great player. We haven't been touch in the past few days, but I'd advise him to join Juventus if he asks me about it," Vidal was quoted as saying by La Gazzetta dello Sport. "I'm having a great time here. It would be hard to find a team with a better atmosphere in the dressing room.

"I was received very well at Juventus and feel at home in Turin. I am very happy with life in Italy and so is my family."

Pizarro has a contract with Roma until the summer of 2013, but the Giallorossi appear to be ready to let go of the midfielder if a good offer comes in.
