V-League player valuation site only has the names Cong Phuong and Xuan Truong
(Baonghean.vn) - Up to now, Vietnamese football has about 500 professional players, but the player valuation website transfermarkt only has the names of Cong Phuong and Xuan Truong. However, in reality, the Vietnamese player "market" is quietly operating in a "lucky" and unpredictable manner.
Unlike previous years, the foreign player market this year is not very exciting. There are more than 200 foreign players who have come to Vietnam and then left, very few faces stay in V.League such as Romario (B.BD), Benjamin (Nam Dinh), Gustavo (HCMC), Junior (FLC Thanh Hoa). Partly because of poor quality, only "good paint" with impressive resumes, the rest of the quality players do not accept the probationary style of the coaching staff.
Foreign soldiers are quiet.
This year, there were not many contracts that were advertised loudly. It seems that fans are also bored and no longer interested in the PR tricks of the teams, all "try to shout, burn no balls". Foreign players who score 9, 10 goals after 26 rounds are increasingly rare, many teams have to put their strikers in defense.

It seems that HAGL is the team with the most professional way of recruiting foreign players and in fact they have signed 2 foreign players, center back Kim Jin-seo (Korea) and striker Gordon Rimario Allan (Jamaica), who are considered quality.
Teams mainly apply the motto “old people, new us”, which means bringing in foreign players who have played in V-League, with proven legs to avoid risks. Others quickly re-sign contracts to avoid being noticed such as Zarour, Toure (Sanna.KH), Moses, Oseni (Hanoi), Fagan, Stevens (Hai Phong)…
A little bit of a stir is that Mr. Vinh said goodbye to former MU player Possebon.,to welcome new foreign player Paulo Daniel Fernandes Tavares. The midfielder born in 1985, Portuguese nationality, currently playing for CD Cova da Piedade Club in Liga Pro is considered more suitable for Ho Chi Minh City Club.
In the remaining case, Brazilian striker Claudecir dos Reis Rodrigues Junior finally had to beg his home team to "go easy" after his cunning secret dealings. Most likely, in the 89th minute, Claudecir will have to pay around 150,000 USD to "redeem" his contract with 1 more year remaining. However, it is unlikely that this striker will join another club, Quang Nam's rival in the V-League.
Super agent Dai returns to the field and it seems that Saigon FC will sign a contract with Nsi at a lower value when he plays for XSKT Can Tho a lot. The return of this Saigon FC boss has made the player market much more exciting and unpredictable.
Luck, unpredictable
For a long time, the Vietnamese player market has not followed any rules, nor has it been priced correctly, it is just a matter of buying and selling at will. However, the players have become much “smarter” after being ripped off by brokers, they know how to inflate their prices with rumors in the press, team A wants player X, team B has contacted player Y.
They even go as a team like Trong Hoang - Van Binh - Van Hoan of SLNA to work together and fight to protect their interests. Vietnamese football does not have many brokers with FIFA Agents certificates and therefore, the real value of players is always a secret.

It seems that Mr. Dai is telling the truth, as the actual cost of the V-League club is only 40 billion VND for a season. The average salary and bonus for a domestic player playing in the V-League is only about 500 million VND. He confided that he had just successfully negotiated to reduce the salary of a player from 800 million VND/season to 200 million VND.
As a former “super broker”, unwritten fees, commissions… are probably familiar to broker Dai. Previously, in 2012, “super broker” Dai set a record of bringing Le Phuoc Tu to XMXT Saigon for a total price of 12 billion VND.
Previously, XM Ninh Binh also had to spend 8 billion VND for the contract to bring Thang "be" to Hoa Lu land, of course, it was still arranged by Tran Tien Dai. Player Nhu Thanh did not even play a single match for XMXT Saigon but still received 7 billion (only signed a memorandum of understanding).
Surprisingly, Ho Chi Minh City and Saigon are the clubs with the most personnel changes. While Mr. Vinh proactively liquidated 13 players and the head coach at once, right after Mr. Dai appeared at Saigon FC, Huu Thang, Cong Thao, Van Thuan, Dinh Trong, and Van Dai, half of the main squad, left before the opening day of the tournament.
