HSV Manager Reiterates Interest In Fabio Vieira

Vieira’s Season Impact for Hamburg

Dr. Eric Huwer, the Hamburg boss, says the club remains attached to Fabio Vieira despite his recent loan move to Arsenal. The 26‑year‑old Portuguese midfielder was the top contributor last term, netting seven goals and adding five assists across 29 league matches. His 12 goal‑involvement points eclipsed every striker in the HSV squad, and his €18 million valuation remains a key factor for the board. Without his performances the club probably would not have stayed in the Bundesliga. The impact of his play is still fresh in the minds of fans and staff alike.

Negotiation Status with Arsenal

Huwer addressed the situation while speaking to Kicker, on the same day he honoured former player Kevin Keegan during training camp in Längenfeld, Austria. An offer has been submitted to the Gunners, but the Portuguese star’s salary was never the stumbling block. The obstacle is Arsenal’s reluctance to budge on their asking price. In a recent quote, Huwer said, “We’ve fallen a little bit in love with Fabio and are re fighting for him every day. We’ve given Arsenal the numbers. They’re just not budging yet. We’re confident we can make a competitive offer without breaking the bank.”

Looking Ahead

Even with a limited budget overseen by Chief Financial Officer Huwer, the club is confident a deal can be reached. The focus remains on a competitive offer that respects both Vieira’s market value and Hamburg’s financial constraints. The training camp in Austria signals a fresh start, and Vieira’s potential return could reinforce the attacking unit. The board’s willingness to keep fighting for him suggests the transfer window may yet bring a reunion.
