Arsenal## Arsenal have a busy summer transfer window ahead of them and are reportedly in talks to complete another potential deal
17:37, 24 Jul 2026
Arsenal are reportedly locked in talks with Hamburg over a deal to sell Fabio Vieira once again.
Vieira spent last season on loan with the Bundesliga club and continues to face an uncertain future during the summer transfer window.
Vieira signed for Arsenal from Porto in the summer of 2022 in a £34million deal, but has only made 49 appearances for the Gunners and has spent each of the last two seasons on loan away from north London.
A return to Hamburg is reportedly under discussion, with a fresh update emerging about the Arsenal playmaker's future.
According to Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, Vieira himself is 'hoping' that an agreement can be reached between Arsenal and Hamburg and it has been claimed that the 26-year-old would prefer to return to the club on a permanent deal.
The Gunners are reported to be holding discussions with the Bundesliga outfit over a deal for Vieira, which could see him leave the Premier League champions on a permanent basis, although another loan deal has not been ruled out
Vieira is thought to be part of Arsenal’s current group of players who have begun pre-season training, but it has been stated that the club are continuing to hold talks that could lead to the playmaker’s eventual departure from the Gunners.
In a recent interview with German outlet Kicker, Hamburg board member Eric Huwer confirmed that he believed the Bundesliga outfit had already submitted an offer to Arsenal to try and bring Vieira back to the Volksparkstadion.

"They're not even budging yet," the Hamburg chief added.
