HSV manager Claus Costa meets Arsenal's Berta over Vieira transfer

Claus Costa, manager of Hamburger SV, met with Arsenal's Andrea Berta to discuss Fabio Vieira's potential transfer. Although HSV expressed strong interest in Vieira, they did not negotiate on the transfer fee. Reports indicate HSV and Arsenal remain €10 million apart in their valuation for the player, with HSV seeking to pay €10 million or less. Vieira, who had 13 goal contributions last season, is also attracting interest from other clubs. Discussions appear to have stalled, with no new proposals from HSV as of now.
