Competition for HSV: Vieira offered to two Bundesliga clubs? | OneFootball

As is well known, HSV would like to keep Fábio Vieira beyond the summer. However, that is proving anything but straightforward.

The club’s management has a clear plan: Vieira is meant to become a permanent focal point of their attack. The Portuguese international earned that trust with an outstanding season in which he recorded seven goals and five assists. Vieira especially kept showing flashes of his exceptional quality in the second half of the season. It is therefore no surprise that HSV are very keen to sign the Arsenal loanee on a permanent deal.

But that is exactly where the problem begins. A transfer would require a major financial effort. The contractually agreed purchase option stands at €22 million, which is well beyond the Rothosen’s financial means. That is why HSV are dependent on negotiations and some flexibility from north London. According to information from Sport Bild, the Hanseatic club can only scrape together “up to €11 million” for Vieira.

However, the magazine also reports that the Gunners have so far shown no willingness to let the 25-year-old leave for a fee below the €20 million mark. Still, the English champions apparently do not want to seriously deal with the matter until after the upcoming Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain (Saturday, 6:00 p.m.). That is at least what Mopo reports.

HSV star Vieira offered to top clubs!

At the same time, there appears to be fresh movement in the market. According to Sport Bild, Vieira is also being offered to other Bundesliga clubs by his advisors. VfB Stuttgart and Bayer Leverkusen are mentioned in particular in this context. Leverkusen could look at the left-footer as a replacement for Malik Tillman, whose move to Bayer is reportedly “largely done.” VfB, meanwhile, have qualified for the Champions League and must shape their squad to cope with an extremely demanding three-way schedule.

Both clubs could therefore develop a need for an attacking midfielder this summer and, financially speaking, obviously operate on a completely different level from HSV. HSV’s trump card could be that Vieira himself has apparently signaled interest in staying in Hamburg. But of course, that is still far from any kind of guarantee. So far, the only thing that is clear is that both HSV and their fans will need plenty of patience in the negotiations over the playmaker.
