Quang Nam Club denies rumors of merger and transfer; Young Brazilian player joins Hoang Anh Gia Lai

Chelsea set price to sell Nkunku to MU

Chelsea are ready to take a loss on Christopher Nkunku as Manchester United consider signing the striker in the summer transfer window of 2025.

Nkunku was bought by Chelsea from RB Leipzig for £52m in 2023. However, the French player could leave Stamford Bridge this summer after falling out of coach Enzo Maresca's plans.

Nkunku was frequently left out of the Blues' squad last season, and his place has become even more precarious this summer following the arrivals of Liam Delap and Joao Pedro. United are said to be interested in Nkunku and held talks with the player last month to discuss a transfer.

According to British media, the "Red Devils" only need to spend 35 million pounds to convince Chelsea to part with the 27-year-old player. However, the Old Trafford club must liquidate some players to raise capital for the transfer.

PSG about to set bonus record

PSG are having a hugely successful season with a host of titles and huge prize money from various tournaments.

According to L'Equipe's estimates, if they win the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™, PSG will pocket around 100 million euros. Including the UEFA Champions League title last month (184 million euros in prize money), coach Luis Enrique's team will earn a total of 294 million euros, a record for a club in a single season.

Even if they stop at the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup 2025™, PSG will pocket 66.4 million euros, a dream number for any club in the world.

However, the above figure is not the final bonus for PSG, because the team also won the Ligue 1 title and the French Super Cup. If considered equivalent to the bonus for the Ligue 1 champion in the 2023/24 season, PSG could receive 60 million euros.

Major changes to the competition format for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup™ and Champions League will see PSG become the biggest beneficiary. With a potential prize money of over €300 million, the Ligue 1 club will set a new record for prize money in a single season.

Quang Nam Club denies rumors of merger and transfer

Quang Nam Club has issued an official announcement, stating that recently there have been some false rumors about the club changing its name and moving its headquarters to the North or South.

"We confirm that this information is completely incorrect. Currently, the club is still operating normally, focusing on training to prepare for the new season and has no plans to change its name or move its headquarters," the representative of the Tam Ky Stadium team emphasized.

In the V-League 2024/25 that just ended at the end of June, Quang Nam Club, after the tense final rounds, successfully stayed in the league, ranking 11/14 overall with 5 points more than the relegated team Binh Dinh.

Notably, right after the season ended, there was information that Quang Nam Club would merge with another team, and there was also information that it would transfer both its V-League spot and its headquarters to another locality.

At the same time, the official fanpage of Quang Nam Club suddenly disappeared, causing further speculation.

Besides the statement confirming that the transfer and merger news was false, Quang Nam Club said that the team's fanpage was only a temporary problem. After 24 hours, the team's admin team regained control and brought the fanpage back to normal operation.

Young Brazilian player joins Hoang Anh Gia Lai

The mountain town team has just completed a contract with young striker Gabriel da Conceição after the player passed the medical examination.

Gabriel was born in 2001, is Brazilian, is 1.83 m tall and is right-footed. He plays mainly as a center forward, but can also play on the wing when necessary.

Gabriel grew up at Botafogo, one of the famous clubs in Brazil. Before coming to Vietnam, this player played for many teams in his home country such as CRB, Figueirense and Maricá.

In the 2024/25 season, Gabriel played for Boavista, appearing in more than 20 matches, scoring 3 goals and providing 1 assist. Although his scoring record is not too outstanding, he is still highly appreciated for his technical ability, speed and smart positioning in the penalty area.

Gabriel da Conceição is expected to help Hoang Anh Gia Lai's attack become sharper next season, especially when the mountain town team is in the process of rejuvenating its force and prioritizing foreign players with a modern playing style, suitable for the philosophy of controlled football.

Before recruiting Gabriel, Hoang Anh Gia Lai also completed the signing of two Brazilian experts, fitness coach Hugo Olivera Silva and goalkeeping coach Higor Felliny Cruz. The appearance of this trio of Brazilians shows that Hoang Anh Gia Lai is aiming for a comprehensive change in both personnel and expertise, in order to prepare for the new season in a more systematic and effective manner./.
