HSV and Arsenal already agreed? Vieira buzz was premature | OneFootball

The hopes of many HSV fans for Fábio Vieira’s quick return suffered a significant setback this Sunday.

After reports circulated on social media about an alleged agreement between HSV and Arsenal FC, it quickly became clear: there can still be no talk of a breakthrough in the negotiations.

The trigger for the euphoria was a report by the English transfer portal The Article, which claimed that Arsenal had already given the green light in principle for the Portuguese player’s sale and that the two clubs had agreed on a transfer fee. The news spread like wildfire among HSV supporters. But disappointment followed shortly afterward. Both the Hamburger Abendblatt and Mopo have denied those reports.

As things stand, the two clubs remain far apart. While HSV are willing to pay around €10 million for the playmaker, the North London club is still said to be demanding significantly more. For this reason, a swift agreement is considered unlikely.

HSV heading to training camp without new signings

Vieira’s desire to move, however, remains unchanged. The 26-year-old is determined to play for HSV on a permanent basis. Nevertheless, he is also in good shape at Arsenal and is taking full part in pre-season preparations. Still, Vieira would prefer to play under Merlin Polzin.

After the friendly against Everton FC (1–2), the HSV coach was asked about possible new signings. The 35-year-old did hint with a smile that there could still be some movement in the squad, but he gave no concrete indication that a Vieira transfer was imminent.

In fact, almost everything suggests that HSV will travel to their training camp in Herzogenaurach on Monday without another new signing. The club’s decision-makers are continuing to work on reinforcements, but at present they see a particular need for action at right-back and in central defense. So when it comes to Vieira, patience is still required.
