<p>Cuesta made an emotional exit from the Emirates Stadium earlier this summer before taking his first managerial role in Italy with Parma. Now, according to <a href="https://www.gazzetta.it/Calciomercato/09-07-2025/calciomercato-tutte-le-notizie-di-oggi-9-luglio-la-diretta.shtml" target="_blank"><em>Gazzetta dello Sport</em></a>, he is lining up a deal for attacking midfielder Vieira, who arrived in north London in 2022 but failed to make himself a crucial part of Arteta's squad.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>After a loan spell with boyhood club Porto, the Portuguese is on the lookout for his next move and Cuesta is keen to link up with the 25-year-old. However, Arsenal are hoping to recoup some of the £29.9 million (€34.6 million/$40.5 million) they forked out three years ago and are asking for £17.2 million (€20 million/$23.3 million) to sanction his departure.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>After scoring just three goals in 49 Arsenal appearances, Vieira returned to Porto last year and enjoyed a more fruitful campaign. The former Portugal Under-21 international found more form in the Primeira Liga, scoring four goals alongside four assists, and featured at the Club World Cup as Porto were knocked out in the group stages.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Vieira is likely to move on this summer as Arteta looks to reshape his squad in pursuit of silverware in the 2025-26 season. Deals have already been wrapped up for Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard, while the Gunners are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/viktor-gyokeres-arsenal-agent-ethan-nwaneri-fans-excited-gunners-star-training-update/blte06b924bc528545d" target="_blank">also hopeful of bringing in striker Viktor Gyokeres</a>.</p>

WHAT NEXT FOR VIEIRA?
