Hamburg Push for Permanent Fabio Vieira Deal with Arsenal After Loan Success

Hamburg have opened concrete negotiations with Arsenal over the permanent transfer of midfielder Fabio Vieira, according to Sky Sport DE. The Portuguese playmaker spent last season on loan with the Bundesliga side and left a strong impression. Vieira is keen to remain in Hamburg, where he is happy with the terms, the city, and the work of head coach Merlin Polzin. Sources indicate the clubs have already exchanged actual financial proposals. The 26-year-old now hopes the two sides can reach a final agreement. Last season, Vieira made 31 appearances across all competitions, scoring seven goals and providing five assists. His contributions helped Hamburg secure their top-flight status in Germany. Vieira’s contract with Arsenal runs until the summer of 2027, but the London club is open to selling a player who is not part of their core plans.
