V.League 2025-2026 is in a break to give way to U23 Vietnam at the 2026 AFC U23 Championship finals.
In the transfer market, Hanoi FC attracted attention when they parted ways with goalkeeper Nguyen Ba Minh Hieu after a period of attachment in both youth and first team lines.
In the goalkeeper position of the Capital team, Van Hoang and Van Chuan are still the priority choices of the coaching staff. Therefore, Minh Hieu's playing opportunities are quite limited.
In another development, SHB Da Nang club continues to have personnel fluctuations. Right at the beginning of 2026, the Han River team announced the termination of contract with center-back Luong Duy Cuong because both sides have new directions. It is likely that this center-back's upcoming destination is a Northern team.
Not long before that, Da Nang also said goodbye to center-back Kim Dong-su and he moved to Muangthong United in the Thai League.
In the opposite direction, Da Nang received positive signals when center-back Gustavo Santos completed the naturalization procedures, officially named Vietnamese by Do Phi Long and will return to play after the break.
In addition, the appearance of Que Ngoc Hai from Thanh Hoa is expected to bring experience and bravery to the rear.
Not only revolving around domestic players, the transfer market at the beginning of 2026 is also heating up with information that a V.League club has approached and approached the recruitment of overseas Vietnamese player - Rahni Moreau Nguyen.
The midfielder born in 2007 is currently under contract with Bordeaux (France), and is considered one of the most potential young overseas Vietnamese today. Previously, Rahni attracted attention when he was invited by Empoli for a 2-week trial, showing that his professional ability has been recognized in the European football environment.
If this deal is successful, this will be a noteworthy step for Vietnamese football in bringing young overseas Vietnamese talents to compete domestically.
