Information on MLS Soccer said that Inter Miami - Lee Nguyen's home team has come close to successfully buying 19-year-old Argentine midfielder Augustin Almendra from Boca Junior.
The deal between Inter Miami and Boca Junior is almost completed, MLS Soccer quoted FOXSports channel as saying. The two sides have agreed on a transfer fee of 10 million USD.
Agustin Almendra was born in 2000, considered one of Argentina's brightest young talents. He is good at playing as a central midfielder, as well as being able to play as a winger.
This setter is a sought-after target for both AS Roma and West Ham. But it is almost certain that the American team will have this young talent before the new season.
Almendra's presence could open up another direction for Lee Nguyen. The Argentine midfielder has much potential and is much younger than Lee Nguyen. At the age of 34, players of Vietnamese origin will have a hard time competing for positions with their "second team".
Therefore, it is not ruled out that Inter Miami will create conditions for Lee Nguyen to find a new direction. At this time, he is being highly sought after by Ho Chi Minh City. However, the biggest obstacle is the salary for the former HAGL midfielder.
Lee Nguyen wants to sign a 2-year contract, receiving a salary of no less than 500,000 USD/year (more than 11 billion VND). That is a huge number for a V.League team.
