Fabio Vieira has struggled to reach the level required to play regularly for Arsenal, which has affected his game time with the club.
After a solid season with FC Porto, the midfielder moved to the Emirates in 2022.
In the 2022/2023 season, Vieira did not perform well, and Arsenal fans were understanding, considering it was his first campaign with the team.
However, last season, he also failed to make a good impression as injuries and poor form led Mikel Arteta to sideline him frequently.
Arsenal plans to sign several other midfielders in the upcoming transfer window, making it unlikely they will find space for Vieira.
As a result, the club is likely ready to cut their losses and allow him to leave.
A Bola reveals that FC Porto is looking to sign him back to help revive his career.
They have observed his struggles at the Emirates and are prepared to reintegrate him into their squad.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Vieira was an exciting signing by us, and we expected so much from the attacking midfielder.
However, he has simply failed to make the most of his time at the Emirates, and we have to allow him to leave.

I had high hopes for Fabio Vieira but my goodness is he such a timid guy. He seems to be afraid in possession. He has not bulked up whatsoever too.
When given chances he normally hides and looks absolutely nervous, timid, scared and anxious on the field.
Been a complete disappointment for me.
What a flop!!!!!!
Are we allowed to point out that this was a MA signing?
I wonder how much of the reported £36 million signing on fee the club will get back?
I guess he’ll join the likes of the other “deadwood and dross” midfielders and I wonder if Mikel will be pilloried in the same way as a previous manager regarding transfers?
Funny old game!!
In comments like this, I ask myself what do people want?
Fabio is a flop and it is Arteta’s fault, as If his purchase wasn’t based on his current form with Porto.
We all make bad calls, even in our daily activities, do we flog ourselves over it, we learn one way to avoid that CALL and try to make a better one next time.
Why not look at the positives….I also do not see why we need to worry ourselves if Arsenal as a club makes profit from a player (except we recieve some share from transfer deals), is the club broke?
Don’t they make “profit” from other “business”?
Besides, in everyday business, you loose some and win some
Let’s focus on cheering up the club to our next major Silverware
@Ken
Hahaha. You are allowed to criticise Arteta, his signing and his performances mate.
All people keep asking for is constructive criticism and not just agenda driven criticism we have been fed since 2020.
Lets be constructive in our analysis and criticisms. If criticism is warranted then anyone that gets triggered or offended by it has got to grow some balls.
The Political Whataboutism is not necessary.

Not a great signing by Arteta Ken1945. Can’t say that he hasn’t been given opportunities but has rarely sparkled.
SueP, it is a shame, but one that needs to be sorted.
My tongue in cheek remark about who signed him, triggered one response I knew it would and, of course, every signing made by every manager has a degree of uncertainty about it.
My irritation with this one though, is the fact that, by giving him the chance to prove himself, it affected the likes of ESR, who I believe will become a very successful and important player.
Is he as good as ESR?
different player to ESR, Vieira was brought in to add playmaker depth to the squad, Odegaard back-up if you like
unfortunately the drop-off in quality between the two is enormous, too big for Vieira to step in for a long term injury to Odegaard and not threaten to derail our whole campaign
ESR not a playmaker midfielder, more the box-to-box type, so does not mitigate Odegaard back-up gap
so while a lot talk about £100m strikers, I often wonder if high quality back-up depth in playmaker role is a more urgent need?
I suppose my point is I would like to see a big upgrade on Vieira come in were he to go out, until then Vieira lifeline is thin cover for Odegaard
Sensible comments 1886. Could Eze be the ideal quality back up for Odegaard and take over from Martinelli and Trossard on the LW?His recruitment would give Arteta a viable alternative in a number of positions with his ability to float past defenders and create chances.Would Palace be interested in ESR as part of a deal for Eze?
i watch little (no) football outside Arsenal so hard to say, but from what i read is Eze a playmaker midfielder? I know Arteta likes his versatility.
Odegaard is so good in so many ways that a really hard act to follow, which makes him hard to replace if injured but means we potentially miss Odegaard more than any other in the event of a long injury
swap and part exchange deals rare exist outside gossip columns
and if they did I would prefer they took Vieira and keep ESR
the other possibility is promote Nwaneri to first team, an big risk though
perhaps again need a back-up plan for that to ease Nwaneri in, perhaps another lifeline for Vieira but only one year then out
No surprise about Vieira as many said he was not physically suited to PL rigors. He is far too timid and not a defensive bone in his body.
Don’t need a 180 page dossier to see this would end in failure. Sell this Summer, or loan with obligation to buy.
Maybe a swap of sorts to limit the financial losses from this transaction.
