“Very concrete talks with Arsenal”: Vieira open to staying at HSV! | OneFootball

Will HSV somehow manage to keep elite technician Fabio Vieira? That question is likely to define the upcoming summer transfer window.

An initial indication was now provided by Sky journalist Florian Plettenberg on Monday evening in “Transfer Update.” According to him, HSV are in “very concrete talks” with Arsenal, where Vieira is still under contract until 2027. However, everyone involved is aware that the Portuguese midfielder has no future at the English champions.

Accordingly, the Rothosen appear to be highly determined in the negotiations as well. “We will try everything,” board member Eric Huwer recently made clear in an interview with kicker.

According to Plettenberg, that is indeed the case. He said club officials and the player recently met again for dinner, during which Vieira was informed about all of HSV’s intentions and plans. “That message got through to him,” Plettenberg said.

HSV have a decent chance with Vieira

The good news: according to Sky, Vieira is actually open to staying at the Volkspark! In recent months, the 25-year-old had repeatedly emphasized how comfortable he feels at HSV and in Hamburg.

The bad news: unsurprisingly, the Hanseatic club are far from alone in their pursuit of the technically gifted playmaker. Plettenberg spoke of “numerous options” without naming any specific clubs. So the transfer saga surrounding Vieira is likely to drag on for quite a while and still have a twist or two in store.

But HSV are by no means without a chance. The possibility that Rothosen fans will get to enjoy the qualities of their top scorer (seven goals, five assists) beyond the summer is certainly there.
