The race of big teams
Hanoi Club, Nam Dinh, Hanoi Police, The Cong Viettel did not wait until the end of V.League 2024-2025 to think about personnel plans for the next season.
Right after the 0-3 defeat to Nam Dinh, the capital team understood that their race for the V.League championship had ended. Quickly putting the disappointment aside, the Hanoi FC board quickly started the transfer plan.
Hendrio Araujo is the first contract that the Hang Day home team has brought in, in parallel with retaining a series of key players such as Hai Long, Van Quyet, Thanh Chung.
Next, Hanoi FC negotiated an extension with head coach Makoto Teguramori. In addition, Mr. Yusuke Adachi - former technical director of the Vietnam Football Federation was invited to support his compatriots in the plan to develop young players as well as participate in shopping in the transfer market.
It is known that Hendrio is only the first "blockbuster" contract that Hanoi FC has activated. The Capital team will continue to spend money to bring other stars to Hang Day Stadium.
The two teams in the same city, Hanoi Police and The Cong Viettel, are also not optimistic. Although there is still competition in the 2024-2025 National Cup front, right from now, both clubs have begun to implement the personnel plan for the new season.
As for Hanoi Police, they kept Van Duc, Van Thanh, Van Hau, Tuan Duong and a number of other young players. This team also clearly demonstrated its ambition to recruit more talented overseas Vietnamese.
Brandon Ly - a 21-year-old player from England will join Hanoi Police with a contract of up to 3 years. Not stopping there, the former V.League champion also wants to recruit 2 more overseas Vietnamese players in the "summer market".
As for The Cong Viettel, after failing to bring in the contract named after Van Thanh, the army team also reclaimed their ex-lover Dang Van Tram after spending a large sum of money to buy back the contract from Hong Linh Ha Tinh. Coach Velizar Popov also hinted at a plan to recruit 2 overseas Vietnamese players and 1 good foreign player in the coming time.
In addition, defending champion Nam Dinh and rookie team Ninh Binh are also actively transferring. The representative of Nam Thanh will have a versatile midfielder A Mit and defender Dang Van Toi.
Meanwhile, Ninh Binh promises to have Chau Ngoc Quang, Nguyen Duc Chien and Dung Quang Nho in the near future.
Many teams lose key players
Along with the positive developments from big teams, some mid-level clubs are facing the scene of saying goodbye to key players.
Dong A Thanh Hoa had to say goodbye to central defenders Nguyen Thanh Long, Gustavo, A Mit. These are three of the players who have accompanied the Thanh team in the recent quite successful seasons.
Hong Linh Ha Tinh, after an impressive season, also faced this situation. There is information that Luong Xuan Truong has asked to leave the club to move to Binh Phuoc, even though he has just re-signed at the beginning of the season. Dang Van Tram said goodbye to return to his former home The Cong Viettel. It is not ruled out that overseas Vietnamese midfielder Viktor Le will also leave in a similar way.
In addition, Hoang Anh Gia Lai is facing the situation of renewing the squad in the next season. A series of players such as Dung Quang Nho, Tran Bao Toan, Tran Minh Vuong, Chau Ngoc Quang will leave. Now, the Pleiku team must start a new cycle, this time with young names such as Ly Duc, Trung Kien, Quoc Viet, Cao Hoang Minh, Minh Tam, Hoang Minh Tien, Gia Bao...
Hoang Anh Gia Lai also participated in the transfer market and brought Hoang Vinh Nguyen from Ho Chi Minh City to Pleiku Stadium.
As a result, the Southern team was also "pull-out". In addition to Vinh Nguyen, the future of goalkeeper Patrik Le Giang in Ho Chi Minh City is in question. At least, at this time, Ninh Binh club wants to exchange Van Lam for Patrik Le Giang.
The V.League 2025-2026 summer transfer market will last until mid-August. In the next 8 weeks, it will promise excitement, interest and surprise surrounding the shopping of clubs, from domestic players, overseas Vietnamese to foreign players.
