لاعب خط الوسط Vieira joined Hamburg on transfer deadline day on a season-long loan, linking up with old team-mate Sambi Lokonga, who signed for the German side permanently hours earlier. Now, Bild claims there is an option to buy the Portuguese for €20m (£17.3m) next year.

There was a great deal of excitement when Arsenal signed the then 22-year-old in the summer of 2022 for a fee worth up to £34.2m ($46.3m). But he has struggled to make an impact, spent last season on loan at his former team, , and now may be sold at a loss by the Gunners.

The report adds that Vieira has joined for an initial loan fee of €400,000 but that can be reduced if he becomes a regular starter for Hamburg. If they kept him long term, the 25-year-old would become the most expensive signing in the club’s history.

There is said to be no pressure on Hamburg to activate this buy option as it runs until mid-May, when the season ends. If recruited, Vieira would sign a four-year deal and Arsenal will retain a sell-on clause between 10-20 per cent.
