HSV chief makes Vieira vow: “We’ll do everything we can” | OneFootball

If many HSV fans had their way, the biggest question of the summer would probably be: Will Fabio Vieira still be playing at the Volkspark next season?

That wish is hardly surprising. After some early struggles, the Arsenal loanee produced an outstanding season and, with seven goals and five assists, became the Rothosen’s top scorer. His stunning goal against Bayer Leverkusen (1:1) on Matchday 34 in particular showed what an exceptional footballer Vieira is.

HSV are, of course, fully aware of that. “We are fans of him, he absolutely thrilled us,” board member Eric Huwer recently made clear in an interview with kicker, “not only with his footballing artistry, but also because he integrated well and worked hard. He is an exceptional player.”

HSV have “other options” with Vieira

Ideally, this exceptional player should continue to delight fans and club officials beyond the coming summer. However, making that happen will be extremely difficult. HSV will not trigger the purchase option agreed with the Gunners. “We do not have the means to spend more than 20 million euros on a single player,” Huwer also made clear.

Even so, the 42-year-old finance expert is by no means giving up hope of signing him. If Arsenal are open to talks, HSV would have “other options” to convince Vieira to stay. “We can win Fabio over with our path. There are talks with him about possible scenarios,” said Huwer, who also gave HSV fans a promise: “We will try everything.”

A lot will depend on the final transfer fee demanded by the North London club. If Arsenal were willing to settle for a figure in the region of eight to ten million euros, the Rothosen would likely have a chance. At the same time, much will also depend on the player’s own plans. There is reason for hope, as Vieira seems anything but opposed to a long-term future at HSV.
