Transfer all but done: when HSV want to speak to Vieira! | OneFootball

It’s the big dream of many HSV fans: If keeping Luka Vuskovic is not possible, then at least Fabio Vieira should stay!

The playmaker, who is on loan from Arsenal, has impressed so far with strong performances. In just 1,600 minutes played, Vieira has been involved in five goals and five assists. That means he is directly involved in a goal every 160 minutes!

It is therefore hardly surprising that HSV would like to sign the Portuguese midfielder on a permanent deal. The Rothosen have a purchase option of around €20 million, but it can only be activated until shortly before the start of the World Cup in June.

One thing is clear: As soon as survival is mathematically secured, those in charge want to take action. According to Sport Bild, concrete talks with Vieira and his management are then planned in order to clarify his future. Preparations have already been made: the potential follow-up contract for the 25-year-old is said to have already been negotiated and would run for four years.

HSV wants to renegotiate Vieira’s price!

Also interesting is that Arsenal did not secure a buy-back option. That means: if HSV decide to trigger the clause, control would lie entirely with the Hamburg club. In that case, the North London side would lose any influence over their former €35 million signing.

There is still one problem, though. The €20 million purchase option negotiated last summer is simply too high for HSV. The great hope is therefore to drive the price down further. According to consistent media reports, those at the Volkspark are trying to reduce the fee to a high single-digit million amount. Whether Arsenal, with one year left on Vieira’s contract in 2027, would be satisfied with that remains to be seen.
