Having rejected a transfer to Southampton (per the Daily Mail via Goal Transfer Talk), Manchester United's Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez is expected to finally see his value realized. According to the Daily Mail, the 26-year-old is said to be a part of a swap deal that would see him land in Turin and Arturo Vidal in Manchester.

Any swap for Vidal, however, would need to include an additional United player and £36 million.
While in South America, Hernandez's agent was cautious to reveal the details, but promised developments would be revealed soon. "For now, I cannot comment on the situation," he told reporters. "I have no news at the moment on an exchange. I haven't spoken to anyone in England, but there will be news soon."

The news of a swap to the reigning three-time Serie A champions will undoubtedly appease Miguel Herrera. The Mexican national team head coach was vocal when asked about the current situation of his falling star, urging him to seek a transfer. Especially if Juventus were the club to come calling. "I think [Chicharito] needs to leave," Herrera said in an exclusive interview with ESPN. "I think [Juventus] would be a good option for him. When a coach doesn't want you-when you have your best experience, your best moment with them, and now the coach that wanted you is no longer there-it's time to move."
"I think there are a lot of opportunities," he added. "They are not bad opportunities. If he goes to Juventus, that would be an extraordinary team. Without a doubt, it would be a nice change for him. Hopefully he'll see more minutes."
Hopefully for Hernandez, the details of an escape to Turin will be revealed in the coming days.
