Quang Hai goes abroad for the second time?
Midfielder Nguyen Quang Hai's contract with Hanoi Police Club will expire after the 2023/2024 season (early July 2024). According to research, it is likely that Quang Hai will not renew his contract with Hanoi Police Club after 1.5 seasons of association.
The new destination of the midfielder born in 1997 has not been revealed, however, it is likely that Quang Hai will find a new way to go abroad for the second time in his career.
Recently at the event, Quang Hai also hinted at the possibility of going abroad. Specifically, Quang Hai said:
"I don't dare say anything about the future. Professional football players like us always aim to improve ourselves. If there is a suitable opportunity, we will always accept it. I am trying my best at the present, but I am also ready to wait for future opportunities to contribute to Vietnamese football."
Previously, in June 2023, Quang Hai officially terminated his contract with Pau FC (a team playing in the French second division). This was one year earlier than the original agreement in the contract. The reason was that Quang Hai did not have many opportunities to show his ability while wearing the Pau FC shirt.
Returning to Vietnam, the Vietnamese midfielder joined the Hanoi Police Club and won the 2023 V.League championship with this team. However, it was not until the 2023/2024 season that Quang Hai regained his stable form.
