Arsenal are ready to listen to offers for Portuguese midfielder Fabio Vieira at the end of the season, according to the Daily Mail.
The 24-year-old, dubbed an ‘enormous talent’ by Gunners manager Mikel Arteta, is currently on loan at Porto until the end of the 2024-25 campaign, with his long-term future at the North London club in doubt.
Vieira joined Arsenal from Porto in the summer of 2022 in a deal worth £32 million, making 33 appearances at the end of his debut season.
However, the midfielder played just 11 Premier League games last term and was allowed to return to Porto on loan.
He has since made 13 appearances for the Primeira Liga club, starting four league games and scoring in his previous two fixtures.
Vieira appears to be finally starting to find his feet back home, but Arsenal have moved on, with the emergence of Ethan Nwaneri and the arrival of Spain international midfielder Mikel Merino from Real Sociedad in the summer handing Arteta options in midfield.
The Portuguese has played his last game for the Gunners from the look of things, and he will not be short of suitors in the summer given his quality.
Vieira could not impress and make an impact at Arsenal given the quality of those available and ahead of him in the pecking order, but he still has what it takes to establish himself as a top player going forward.

He has two-and-a-half years on his current deal, and cashing in on him this summer is the best time for the Gunners to get something valuable from a sale.
The Portuguese is a decent player, but he does not fit into the plans of title-challenging Arsenal right now.
The North Londoners could look to bring in another midfielder next summer with the future of Jorginho also in doubt, but the versatile Myles Lewis-Skelly is an option if he can prove himself in the coming months.
