Arsenal negotiates lower fee for midfielder Fabio Vieira with Hamburg

Arsenal is reportedly willing to lower its asking price for midfielder Fabio Vieira in negotiations with Hamburg, where he spent last season on loan. The Gunners initially set a asking price between €20 million and €22 million, which Hamburg deemed too high. Following a recent sale that boosted Hamburg's transfer budget, initial reports suggest that the gap in valuation may begin to close as both clubs explore terms for a permanent transfer before the deadline.
