Adeline AND Vieira coming? How HSV are planning in midfield | OneFootball

Martin Adeline’s imminent transfer is being received extremely positively by large sections of the HSV fanbase. At the same time, however, many supporters are wondering what this means for their favorite, Fabio Vieira.

According to matching reports from Mopo and Hamburger Abendblatt, Adeline’s signing is largely a done deal. The Rothosen have reportedly agreed a transfer fee of four million euros with Troyes. Additional bonus payments could be added, although these are said to be tied to difficult-to-achieve conditions. The 22-year-old is expected at the Volkspark for his medical as early as Monday. If that goes smoothly, the final contract details are then set to be sorted out.

Adeline impressed last season as one of the standout players in Ligue 2. With ten goals and eleven assists, the Frenchman played a key role in Troyes’ promotion and significantly increased his market value within a year. The versatile attacking player can operate both centrally and on the wings, standing out for his goal threat and impressive vision in the final third.

HSV eye August in the Vieira poker

But does the impending Adeline deal automatically mean the end of HSV’s efforts to sign Fabio Vieira? Apparently not. According to several media reports, the Hamburg club are still working on a permanent deal for the Portuguese playmaker, who emerged as a difference-maker last season while on loan. However, talks with his parent club Arsenal are proving difficult. The North London club are hoping for a transfer fee in a financial range HSV cannot reach.

The positive aspect: Adeline’s transfer significantly reduces the pressure to buy Vieira at any price. With the right-footed player, the Rothosen have found the reinforcement they were looking for in the creative department. If an opportunity for Vieira still opens up in August, HSV would try to take advantage of it. At the Volkspark, there is currently strong hope that no interested club will be willing to meet Arsenal’s asking price of more than 20 million euros. But one thing is also clear: this would be a bonus transfer, and as things stand, it should not necessarily be expected to happen.
