As V.League 2025-2026 is approaching, the teams have entered the race for forces early to prepare for a new season. A series of quality contracts have appeared, heating up the transfer market since the beginning of July.
As a rookie in the V.League, Ninh Binh is showing great ambition to compete in the top group. This team surprised everyone when it successfully recruited central defender Nguyen Duc Chien - one of the important pillars of The Cong Viettel.
It is known that Duc Chien had to spend 3 billion VND to release his contract with his old team. In return, he is rumored to have received a signing bonus of up to 6 billion VND/season at Ninh Binh FC - the highest number currently reserved for a domestic central defender in V.League.
Not stopping there, the ancient capital team continued to spend a lot of money when bringing back two quality names from Hoang Anh Gia Lai, Chau Ngoc Quang and Dung Quang Nho.
Both of these players are familiar faces in the V.League and important factors in the national team. To get them, Ninh Binh is said to have spent a significant transfer fee to receive a nod from the team from the Mountain City.
Despite losing the mainstay Duc Chien, The Cong Viettel is not left out of the race for strength. The army team has successfully recruited foreign player Lucao - the top scorer of V.League 2024-2025 from Hai Phong.
This is considered an important contract to improve the attack and build the playing style of The Cong Viettel under coach Popov. With his proven goalscoring ability, Lucao is certainly a name worth watching for the army team in the coming season.
Right after saying goodbye to Lucao, Hai Phong FC also quickly brought in striker Tagueu - a foreign player who once played for Hanoi FC. Tagueu is no stranger to the V.League. With a powerful playing style, he is expected to fill the void left by Lucao.
The almost immediate replacement shows the careful preparation and does not accept being out of steam in the upcoming race of the Hai Phong team.
Meanwhile, V.League 2024-2025 champion Nam Dinh FC also soon announced a quality contract named A Mit from Dong A Thanh Hoa.
After 3 stable and developing seasons in Thanh Hoa, A Mit will now continue to conquer new heights with the team from Thanh Nam. This is a necessary addition to Nam Dinh's midfield, in the context that this team needs to reinforce the depth of the squad to aim to defend the championship and participate in international arenas.
