Barcelona paid around £16million to sign Vidal from Sevilla in 2015 but he has since fallen out of favour under boss Luis Enrique.
Academy graduate Sergi Roberto, 24, has played at right-back for much of this season but was exposed during Barcelona’s 3-1 defeat to Manchester City this week.
And according to Spanish newspaper Sport, Barca will look to offload Vidal in January.
Liverpool right-back Nathaniel Clyne has impressed under Jurgen Klopp
Barcelona are long-term admirers of Arsenal right-back Hector Bellerin

It is said both player and club believe a parting of ways in the best solution for the 27-year-old.
Barcelona have a lengthy list of transfer targets to fill their problem right-back position, with Arsenal star Bellerin and Liverpool ace Clyne both at the top.
Barca are long-term admirers of Bellerin who came through the ranks at the Nou Camp before leaving for Arsenal in 2011.
Nathaniel Clyne from SW4 to International footballer
Arsenal are desperate to tie the 21-year-old down on a long-term contract, with a reported £40 release clause.
Express Sport understands Barca are also keen on Liverpool right-back Clyne, who has become a key player under Jurgen Klopp.
But the 25-year-old has four years remaining on his deal at Anfield, with the Reds valuing him at around £25m.
