According to the plan, Van Thanh will dock in Ninh Binh if all conditions are agreed upon by both sides. He had just signed a contract extension with Hanoi Police at the end of last season and was considered a strategic factor in the upcoming season.
The defender was trained at Hoang Anh Gia Lai and moved to Hanoi Police since the 2023 season and won the first V.League championship in his career.
In 3 seasons playing for the Police team, he has played 70 matches in all competitions and scored 7 goals. Van Thanh has also been an important card of the Vietnam national team for nearly 9 years, with the 2024 ASEAN Cup championship title.
Bringing Van Thanh to Ninh Binh is part of the team's strategy to increase personnel, which is already famous as Janclesio - a central defender who played for Binh Duong (formerly Hong Linh Ha Tinh) since the beginning of the 2023 season, and quality players such as Chau Ngoc Quang, Tran Bao Toan and Dung Quang Nho from Hoang Anh Gia Lai.
If the deal is successful, Ninh Binh club - the team that just won 19 and drew 1 match to win the First Division championship last season will possess an additional experienced player, creating a solid and potential framework ahead of the 2025-2026 V.League season.
