HSV’s Vieira saga takes new twist: are Milan now in the mix? | OneFootball

HSV’s hopes of signing Fábio Vieira on a permanent deal are still alive. However, even just a few days before the end of the transfer window, no decision has been made yet.

A new name has now also emerged in the race for the Portuguese player. As Mopo reports, citing rumors from Italy, the 26-year-old is being linked with AC Milan. While nothing is known so far about concrete negotiations, the speculation is still likely to catch HSV’s attention. After all, Vieira remains the club officials’ absolute top target.

Fundamentally, not much has changed in terms of the current situation: Arsenal want to part ways with the midfielder and are still looking for a solution. HSV have registered their interest for months and are said to be willing to pay a fee of just under ten million euros. Originally, however, the North London club wanted to receive 18 million euros for their player. That now seems unlikely.

That is exactly what the Hamburg club are counting on. The decision-makers hope that shortly before the transfer deadline, Arsenal would rather accept an offer below their own expectations than keep Vieira on the wage bill. So far, that strategy seems to be working quite well. No financially stronger rival has seriously entered the picture yet.

Milan interested in HSV’s top target Vieira?

Do the Milan rumors change this situation? What is certain is that Vieira’s agent Jorge Mendes has recently been in contact with the officials of the Italian giants. Whether HSV’s favorite was actually discussed remains unclear. At the moment, there is no clear indication that Milan are actively working on a transfer.

HSV are nevertheless keeping a close eye on the situation. Within the club, it is known that a move to a top European club would in principle be appealing for Vieira. Clubs like Milan, Inter, or Juventus in particular carry enormous international appeal.

For now, however, HSV remain in the race. If the reported interest from Italy does not become concrete, the chances of landing the long-awaited marquee signing could even improve further. In any case, the saga will not drag on much longer. In exactly one week, the transfer window closes.
