HSV boss fuels rumours over Vieira staying! | OneFootball

At HSV, hopes are growing that difference-maker Fábio Vieira could stay beyond the summer.

The attacking player, who is on loan from Arsenal, has impressed with strong performances and has been directly involved in ten goals so far this season (five goals, five assists). Now even the club’s leadership is fueling speculation about a permanent transfer.

HSV board member Eric Huwer sounded surprisingly optimistic in an interview with the Hamburger Abendblatt: “The situation is relatively relaxed. Fábio feels very comfortable in Hamburg, and I don’t get the impression that Arsenal are building their long-term plans around him.” Despite the hefty €20 million purchase option, Huwer therefore sees room for negotiation for HSV. In the best-case scenario, any transfer fee would be pushed down into the high single-digit millions.

HSV boss announces talks with Vieira

However, the key factor is above all Vieira’s own wishes. “The basic requirement now is what the player wants,” Huwer emphasized. If the 25-year-old opts for a future in Hamburg, the board member announced concrete talks: “If he wants to stay, then we will sit down with the people in charge at Arsenal and discuss possible solutions.”

Huwer also made it clear that HSV are very interested in signing him permanently: “We are ready to experience special moments with Fábio over the long term as well.” As a model, he cited previous deals with the Gunners “similar to what happened with Sambi back then.” The Red Shorts brought the Belgian midfielder to the Volkspark last summer for a mere €300,000.
