HSV and Arsenal agree? Fresh confusion over Vieira transfer | OneFootball

Fábio Vieira’s future remains one of the most intriguing transfer stories surrounding HSV. In Germany and England, however, different information is circulating.

The latest reports paint a contradictory picture. The trigger for the newest speculation is a report by the Arsenal fan platform now.afc. According to it, both clubs have already agreed on a fixed transfer fee of twelve million euros. The only sticking point is said to be bonus payments worth six to eight million euros, which Arsenal want to make as easy to achieve as possible. HSV have reportedly not agreed to those terms so far.

According to Mopo information, however, the deal does not appear to be anywhere near that advanced. It is understood that an agreement between the clubs is still a long way off. Only one thing is clear: Vieira himself wants to join HSV permanently after his successful loan spell and has already made his position known accordingly.

In the Vieira poker: HSV hold the decisive trump card

While negotiations continue with varying intensity, the 26-year-old is currently picking up minutes at Arsenal. Although coach Mikel Arteta no longer plans with Vieira, the attacking midfielder featured in the friendlies against Girona and Real Betis. The North London club are obviously also using pre-season to put the left-footer in the shop window for potential interested parties.

The background: Arsenal are hoping for financially stronger buyers willing to pay the originally requested fee of around 18 million euros. HSV cannot afford such a sum and are banking on the Gunners lowering their demands as the transfer window progresses.

One decisive factor works in HSV’s favour: ultimately, a move is only possible with Vieira’s approval. The Portuguese has already made his preference clear. Even so, the transfer remains a drawn-out affair. One that could drag on for several more weeks.
