Cong Phuong and Xuan Truong's club does not accept the V.League slot left by Quang Nam; Ronaldo shockingly wants to bring Bruno Fernandes to Al Nassr: Blockbuster contract worth 200 million pounds

Dong Nai, the club where Cong Phuong, Xuan Truong... are playing, will not accept the 2025/26 V.League slot left by Quang Nam.

The leader of Dong Nai football team said, "The club held a meeting with careful and comprehensive consideration of all aspects and above all the interests and feelings of the fans" and came to the decision "Not to register to participate in the 2025/26 National Championship".

Dong Nai FC explained: “We deeply understand that being present in the National Football Championship is a great honor, a milestone that every club strives for. And that is why the decision not to participate in this year's season was an extremely difficult choice. But looking back, it is not glory or aura that makes us most troubled, but the question: Are we ready to make our fans proud? Because we do not want to enter the V.League just to 'participate'".

“We believe that this journey takes time, but it is the time needed for the club to become the best version of itself. The day to play in V.League 1 will definitely come. And when that happens, Dong Nai will be a team with a fierce fighting spirit, a team with depth, its own identity, inner strength and most importantly, a fan community that always loves and is proud when talking about the club”...

This decision also means that Cong Phuong will have to play at least one more season in the First Division. Currently, this team is training under the guidance of head coach Nguyen Viet Thang.

Overseas Vietnamese player Chung Nguyen Do has not shown much in his unofficial debut at Ninh Binh Club.

A few days after arriving in Vietnam and participating in training with Ninh Binh Club, Vietnamese-American midfielder Chung Nguyen Do participated in his first match in Vietnam. It was a pre-season match between Ninh Binh Club and Hanoi Club at Hang Day Stadium.

One challenge for Chung Nguyen Do was the weather conditions. The temperature in Hanoi reached 34 degrees Celsius along with the extremely hot weather on August 2, which greatly affected the player's unofficial debut. Seeing Chung Nguyen Do affected by the extreme weather, the coaching staff of Ninh Binh Club immediately withdrew him from the field.

Immediately after that, Chung Nguyen Do was given cold water and ice packs. He continuously drank water and washed his face to cool down. Talking to the media, Chung Nguyen Do said he needed time to get used to the hotter weather conditions than in Bulgaria. Returning to Vietnam 2 weeks earlier than the V.League kicks off is necessary for Chung Nguyen Do to adapt to the external conditions.

With Lionel Messi, there is no such thing as "getting sick or getting old". Inter Miami wants to stick with him as long as possible.

They are offering the 38-year-old superstar a new contract for at least three years, instead of the one-year deal that many top European clubs usually do.

Lionel Messi's current contract with Inter Miami expires at the end of December. The two sides are negotiating an extension. It is almost certain that the owner of 8 Golden Ball titles will continue to stick with the team currently participating in the US Major League Soccer (MLS). The only question is when and how M10 will officially sign with the team owned by former player David Beckham.

Inter Miami is trying to convince Lionel Messi to sign a long-term contract. Specifically, owner David Beckham wants to "tie" the Argentine superstar for at least 3 more years, meaning until M10 turns 41. He even eagerly declared that he wants Messi to play for them as long as possible. The club's leaders also painted before the former Barca star the prospect of him becoming a member of Inter Miami's board of directors after he announced his retirement. This is also understandable, as Messi is a major shareholder of Inter Miami.

Blockbuster deal worth up to 200 million pounds (about 6,967 billion VND)

To prepare for the 2025-2026 season, Ronaldo and his associates are quietly carrying out the biggest "blockbuster" deal in the ongoing summer transfer window.

That is to convince MU midfielder Bruno Fernandes to join Al Nassr for a new world record fee of up to 200 million pounds, A Bola said on August 2. On the same day, Daily Mail also confirmed this news, adding that negotiations are underway.

If Bruno Fernandes leaves, this will be a big shock for MU, because this 30-year-old midfielder is an indispensable pillar of the Old Trafford team.
