Claus Costa, the sporting director of Hamburger SV, has denied in the media that the club cheated Arsenal in the transfer of Fabio Vieira. However, Costa admitted that HSV are very happy with the agreement they have reached. Negotiations with Arsenal have lasted all summer, with Hamburger SV managing to reduce their initial €22 million purchase clause to a deal worth less than half that amount. The final deal would be around €10 million, with a sell-on clause.
In an interview, Costa asked if they had "pulled Arsenal over the table", a German expression meaning someone has been cheated or swindled. "Certainly not," Costa stated. “We cannot participate in the bidding process and enter the ring with other financially stronger clubs. That is why we had to wait for our opportunity and in the end we are very happy that this deal was successful for us.”
It is difficult to argue that HSV used any inappropriate tactics in their search for Vieira. Maybe they put a little pressure on the media by spreading the idea that the player really wanted to return to Germany. But by all accounts, that was true. Furthermore, HSV simply waited and maintained their position on the amount they were willing to pay.
The problem for Arsenal was that there were no other bidders who made a more attractive offer. The Gunners ultimately had no better option than to sell Vieira to HSV for a lower price. So far, Vieira has had a slow start to his second spell at HSV. He has in his first threehave not yet produced any goals or assists for the club, two of which ended in a 5-0 defeat. The third match was an important 2–1 win over FC Köln, which lifted HSV from last place in the Bundesliga and gave them their first points of the season.
In the win, Vieira had four shots, all on target, but these mainly came from distance and were relatively easy to stop. Nevertheless, it is a sign that things can slowly improve for him and his new team. Expectations are high, and supporters will be hoping that Vieira can adapt quickly and find his feet in the Bundesliga.
What's happening now
Now that the transfer has been completed, Hamburger SV will focus on integrating Vieira into their playing style and the team. The club will also closely monitor the player's performance to ensure he adapts to the Bundesliga. For Vieira, this is an opportunity to revive his career and further develop his skills in a competitive environment.
