“Staying in Hamburg is one of the options” – Arsenal loanee Fabio Vieira opens up on future

Fabio Vieira has discussed the possibility of joining Hamburger SV permanently from Arsenal.

Last summer, Hamburger SV signed Fabio Vieira on a season-long loan deal from Arsenal with an option to buy of a reported €20 million.

The 25-year-old has since become an important figure for the North German club – and he could imagine staying beyond the summer.

“Staying in Hamburg is one of the options. They also have a purchase option. If the club decides to exercise it, I’ll keep enjoying being here in Hamburg and playing in the Bundesliga. But these are things I cannot control. We’ll see what happens in the summer,” Vieira told Bild.

“I still have no idea what will happen at the end of the season. My focus is on HSV. But in principle, I have a contract with Arsenal until 2027, and I will respect that. 

“Right now, I’m in Hamburg and concentrating 100 percent on having a good season. I feel comfortable and am happy to be here. My responsibility is to give everything for the Raute (HSV),” he added.

So far, Vieira has scored two goals and laid on five assists in 17 appearances for HSV this season.
