Famous deals
In contrast to the gloom from the story of Quang Nam's disolution, V.League 2025-2026 is considered the most anticipated season in the past 10 years. This stems from the excitement in the transfer market, when many potential teams announced famous deals.
Although only a rookie returning to V.League after a decade of absence, Ninh Binh club soon attracted attention when it continuously created a buzz at the "summer market".
Similar to bringing Hoang Duc to compete with the highest handball cap in Vietnam's history last season, the ancient capital team continued to play big when successfully recruiting overseas Vietnamese midfielder Chung Nguyen Do (Tran Thanh Trung).
To get the head of this promising player, Ninh Binh is said to have spent billions of dong in transferring to Slavia Sofia. Not to mention, Chung Nguyen Do is also treated equally well by the current top stars of V.League.
Besides Chung Nguyen Do, V.League 2025-2026 also witnessed deals that took a lot of paper from the press. Adou Minh - a Vietnamese-American center back who was included in the V.League's typical squad last season said goodbye to Hong Linh Ha Tinh to join Hanoi Police.
In addition to having this quality defensive player, the Police team also deepened the squad with the appearance of Brandon Ly - a promising Vietnamese-American midfielder who has spent many years training in the English football environment for Burnley club.
Nam Dinh is not out of the race to purchase forces. The team from Thanh Nam currently has 9 foreign players, 3 of whom are new recruits Mahmoud Eid, Njabulo Blom, Kyle Hudlin.
The name Kyle Hudlin is exciting because he was once interested in Man City, with a height of up to 2m10 and is in the top 5 tallest players in the world.
Facing the ambitions of Nam Dinh, Ninh Binh or Hanoi Police, The Cong Viettel has also struggled to shop for more than 3 recent seasons. The appearance of coach Velizar Popov at the end of last season became a factor that accelerated the transfer of the army team.
According to the plan, The Cong Viettel recruited 9 new players. In the immediate future, they have announced Dang Van Tram, Dinh Xuan Tien, Dinh Viet Tu and especially the talented young goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet. In the next few days, The Cong Viettel will continue to introduce foreign players and overseas Vietnamese.
Tinh from Ho Chi Minh City Police Club
When many potential teams gradually announce famous contracts, the Ho Chi Minh City Police Club is still quite secretive in transfer activities. It should be emphasized that the team led by coach Le Huynh Duc is only frugal and not passive in "playing chess forever".
Up to now, Ho Chi Minh City Police have also added many good players to aim for the goal of being in the top 5 teams in the 2025-2026 season. Besides Chu Van Kien, Pham Duc Huy, Duong Van Hao... the Thong Nhat Stadium team is expected to prepare to welcome a bright rookie. If this quality striker is in hand, Ho Chi Minh City Police will further strengthen the quality of the attack.
In addition to Ho Chi Minh City Police, the surprising acquisition in the transfer market from Hanoi FC has also made many fans curious.
Once the first team to open the " Summer market" with recruiting star Hendrio, the Capital team has not created any other surprise. They decided to strengthen the defense by bringing in experienced left-back Nguyen Cong Nhat and center back Adriel Silva. At the same time, Hanoi FC said goodbye to Chu Van Kien and lent Dong Nai to Ho Thanh Minh.
There are not too many big deals from Hanoi FC. But it would be a mistake to remove the team's name from the championship race. With a strong force retained and reinforced by the board of directors and coach Teguramori, the capital representative is still a formidable force in the V.League.
