Overview

• Hamburg agreed an initial loan fee of about €400,000 that can be reduced or refunded based on playing time and performance conditions.
• The purchase option is set at €20 million and runs until mid-May 2026, which would mark a club-record outlay if triggered.
• German outlet BILD reports Jorge Mendes’ agency offered Vieira to Bayern Munich this summer, but Bayern chose not to proceed.
• Vieira logged 11 goal contributions on loan at Porto last season, preserving market interest despite limited impact at Arsenal.
• Reports indicate he is not in Mikel Arteta’s plans, with the move freeing wages and a squad spot while giving Hamburg a low-risk look.
