VfB Stuttgart are planning an ambitious move for Arsenal's Portuguese midfielder Fabio Vieira. David Ornstein of The Athletic reported that Stuttgart have initiated discussions with Arsenal to negotiate a permanent deal for the 25-year-old. Although no agreement has been finalized, negotiations are still in progress. The player, who is contracted until 2027, currently has a market value of €22.00m according to Transfermarkt and has also attracted interest from clubs like West Ham and Parma. Arsenal is expected to seek a 'respectable price' for their €40 million investment. Stuttgart are eyeing Vieira as a replacement for their star midfielder Enzo Millot, who is heading to Jeddah after Al-Hilal successfully intercepted his move to Atletico Madrid. Millot's departure has been anticipated for months, and if Stuttgart can reinvest the €28 million they received from his transfer into a deal for Vieira, it would be considered a clever piece of business.
