Waiting for HSV: Vieira grafts with personal trainer! | OneFootball

Fabio Vieira is showing no signs of looking elsewhere. The gifted technician wants to leave Arsenal permanently and join HSV.

According to reports from numerous media outlets, the 26-year-old is currently fully focused on a move to the Rothosen. There are no talks with any other interested clubs. Instead, Vieira is waiting for an agreement between his parent club Arsenal and the officials in Volkspark.

On the pitch, the gifted technician made the best possible case for a return. Last season, the loanee recorded seven goals and five assists, becoming a key contributor and playing a major role in the successful campaign of the newly promoted Bundesliga side. Even so, a permanent deal remains complicated.

Vieira is still under contract at Arsenal until 2027, but he no longer plays a decisive role in the North London club’s future plans. The problem: the financial expectations of the two clubs are still far apart. While HSV could likely only afford a fee in the region of eight to ten million euros, Arsenal will be hoping for significantly higher income. As a result, talks are expected to drag on.

Vieira wants to be with HSV for the start of training

The Portuguese midfielder is therefore using the waiting period for extra training sessions in his homeland. As Bild reports, he is working with private coach Claudio Borges at the so-called “Boost Campus” on fitness, technique, and position-specific routines. Several international players have also trained there in the past.

For Vieira, the program is especially important because Arsenal, whose squad includes numerous World Cup players, will not begin preseason until the end of July. HSV, on the other hand, gets underway much earlier: the first performance tests are already scheduled for early July. That is exactly when the playmaker would most like to be back on the pitch. It remains unclear whether the clubs will find a solution in time. You probably should not count on it.
