Vieira’s future: How HSV plan to move forward! | OneFootball

Fábio Vieira is probably the best footballer in the HSV squad. However, his stay beyond the summer is proving to be difficult.

Hamburger SV does have a purchase option for the playmaker, who was loaned from FC Arsenal at the beginning of September. However, this option is set at 20 million euros, and even if they manage to stay in the league, it would be hard to afford at present. Still, it remains open whether the Vieira chapter will be closed again at the end of the season. As Bild reported, the club’s management wants to wait and see how things develop on the pitch first.

Talks with Arsenal are not expected to take place until April or May. It already seems certain that the Portuguese player, even if he returns to London—where he is under contract until 2027—would not play a role there. Therefore, HSV might try to negotiate a lower transfer fee. However, it is highly likely that there will be other interested parties for Vieira, whose ball skills regularly stand out in the Hanseatic team’s play.

Vieira has recently picked up momentum

So far, the 25-year-old has collected six scorer points. In the recent 2-0 win in Heidenheim, he was even involved in both goals. Vieira set up the opening goal by Ransford Köngsdörffer with a penetrating pass to assist-provider Philip Otele, and he directly assisted the decisive 2-0 with a clever pass to substitute Rayan Philippe.

The week before, the 40-time youth international converted a penalty to make it 1-0 against FC Bayern (2-2). Given his outstanding talent, his overall tally could have been even higher. Vieira initially struggled to find his rhythm due to two red cards and also had to play in the right winger position, which he doesn’t dislike. The latest adjustments by coach Merlin Polzin have integrated him better into the game, which has immediately had a positive effect on Hamburg’s attacking play and thus also on Vieira’s performances. Further strong performances could have a significant impact on his future.
