“Arsenal and Arteta Will Regret This Decision: Arteta Instructs £50M First Team Player to Pack His Bags and Leave”
Arsenal midfielder Fabio Vieira could be on his way out this summer, as reports suggest manager Mikel Arteta is unhappy with his training performances.
According to The Mirror, the Portuguese midfielder has not lived up to Arteta’s expectations, sparking speculation about his future at the club.
Vieira joined Arsenal from Porto in a £35 million deal in 2022, with high hopes that he would be a valuable addition to the squad. Despite a strong start, featuring in eight of Arsenal’s first 12 Premier League matches and scoring three goals, Vieira’s playing time decreased as the season went on.
Arsenal finished the 2023/24 season in 2nd place with 89 points, just behind Manchester City. Despite the team’s success, Vieira struggled to secure a regular spot in the lineup, with players like Martin Ødegaard, Granit Xhaka, and Thomas Partey often preferred.
Arteta’s reported dissatisfaction with Vieira’s training has fueled rumors that the club might sell the 23-year-old this summer.
Selling Vieira could be part of Arteta’s plan to refine his squad, ensuring all players meet the high standards needed for top-level competition. It could also free up funds for Arsenal to invest in other areas, especially with Champions League football on the horizon.
As the transfer window approaches, Vieira’s future at Arsenal is uncertain. While his initial promise hasn’t led to consistent performances, he might seek a fresh start elsewhere. The coming months will be crucial as Arsenal and Vieira decide on the best path forward.
