Mid-season transfers in V.League: Rushing for different goals

There have been quite a few "blockbusters" arriving.V.Leaguein the last transfer window. That was the duoBrazilian Romeo andBrenner of Nam Dinh Green Steel. Among them, Romulo is the one who has faced Porto, Benfica or Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese National Championship. Brenner also has 11 goals and 2 assists in Serie A - the highest tournament in Brazil. It can be seen that Nam Dinh Green Steel really wants to successfully defend the V.League championship this year.

Equally ambitious is Hanoi Club. The capital team has spent a lot of money to bring in the top scorer of the Bolivian National Championship to strengthen the attack. Striker Daniel Passira is valued at 500,000 Euros.

In addition, Hanoi Club also added midfielder Luka Bobicanec or Vietnamese-American player Lamothe Pierre. This pair of players will help the capital team's midfield to be more quality. Currently, Hanoi Club is ranked 3rd on the V.League rankings and still has many opportunities to win this year's tournament.

Along with that are the contracts of Cheick Timité of Becamex Binh Duong or Thaileon de Santana Santos of Hanoi Police. These are players who will help these two teams significantly increase the quality of their attack.

While Cheick Timite is a player who has played for the Ivory Coast National Team 3 times and has played in Ligue 1. Thaileon had a very successful 2024 season when he scored 15 goals in 14 matches for Guarani-MG. With these additions, the race for the championship is expected to be exciting this season.

At the bottom of the rankings, clubs are also willing to spend a lot to improve their performance. The most notable is SHB Da Nang. The Han River team has replaced all 3 foreign players in the hope of a transformation in the remaining stages of the season. However, SHB Da Nang's performance has not improved much despite changing the head coach twice.

Similar to SHB Da Nang is Quy Nhon Binh Dinh. The team from the land of Vo also had 3 new players in the mid-season transfer period. They are striker Rodrigo Rivas and the midfielder duo Pham Duc Huy and Nguyen Duc Hoang Minh. But the results of coach Bui Doan Quang Huy's team were only 2 draws and 4 losses.

The most effective at the bottom of the table is probablyLam River Nghe An. The Nghe An team has added the duo Hoang Van Khanh and Ho Khac Ngoc to increase the quality and experience of the squad. Very quickly, this duo has proven their role at Vinh Stadium to help Song Lam Nghe An get 10/18 points in the last 6 matches. This good achievement helps the Nghe An team rise to 12th place on the V.League rankings.

In addition, there are also notable deals such as striker Friday joining Hai Phong Club, striker Alhaji Gero joining Hong Linh Ha Tinh or Ugochukwu Oduenyi joining Quang Nam Club. These are players with quite good CVs when playing in national championships in Europe. However, they still need time to integrate into the V.League environment.

Only Dong A Thanh Hoa and The Cong Viettel are the two teams that did not have any significant additions in the mid-season transfer period.

Dong A Thanh Hoa was rumored to borrow midfielder Hendrio from Nam Dinh Steel Blue, but the deal was unsuccessful. Anyway, after being eliminated in 2 Cup fronts, the current squad of the Thanh team will still help them stand in the top half of the rankings.

The most surprising is The Cong Viettel. The Army team used to target many foreign players to make a series of changes. However, in the recent period, the existing foreign players have played very well, helping them climb to 2nd place on the rankings. Therefore, coach Nguyen Duc Thang still believes in using these foreign players to create stability for the Army team in the championship race this year.

Currently, V.League is on hiatus to let the playersNational Teamfocus. This is a good opportunity for teams to practice tactics and give new players more time to integrate with their new teams. This promises to create exciting races in this year's V.League.
