Hupu September 11th, an updated report by Christian Falk, editor-in-chief of German Media Photo News, decrypted the further relationship between Mendes and Bayern.

Fabio Vieira (25) is the most valuable player during his time in Hamburg after Rafael Van der Fate (42). Germany's valuation of Van der Fate that year was 24.5 million euros. Portuguese player Vieira is worth a close second, at 22 million euros.

Vieira will make her debut with Hamburg this Saturday (6:30 pm), against defending champion Bayern Munich. The mission is clear: The player on loan from Arsenal is expected to bring creativity to Hamburg's game from the right wing and keep cutting inside.

Surprisingly: long before Vieira was loaned to Hamburg, he wanted to be Bayern's "bankrupt Mushara".

Mushara broke his fibula in the quarterfinals of the Club World Cup in July (0-2), and the senior management discussed whether Bayern needed to introduce creative players to replace him.

Viela was one of the people who were considered at the time. His agency Gestifute recommended the player to Munich. Marco Asensio (29 years old, playing for Paris Saint-Germain at the time and now at Fenerbahce) was also the target Mendes recommended to Bayern.

Bayern Munich is more interested in Asensio because of his experience and strength he has shown in the top league. In the end, Bayern thought the Spaniard was overpaid.

negotiations with Vieira were never fulfilled. After Enzo Miyo's transfer to Saudi Arabia, Stuttgart has been looking for a replacement for Vieira, and he has also been the focus of Stuttgart. However, Stuttgart ended up choosing Bilar El Hanus (21, Leicester City).
