Dreaming of being a king, FLC Thanh Hoa hunts for Atletico Madrid's former player

FLC Thanh Hoa is gradually realizing its dream of hegemony with a series of new contracts and after successfully recruiting domestic players, they have begun to approach foreign players.

At the end of the 2017 V.League season, Thanh Hoa finished as runner-up. However, it seems that this achievement still cannot satisfy the ambition of Thanh football community, when a series of reforms were implemented not long after the last season ended.

First of all, there is a change in the coaching staff. With the arrival of Romanian strategist Marian Mihail, FLC Thanh Hoa is expecting the team to make breakthrough changes in the new year to aim for the throne in V.League.

However, it has not stopped there, the leaders of the Thanh team are still continuing to take the next steps in the plan to build a new dynasty. Accordingly, this club is still accelerating the process of finding new recruits, in which special attention is paid to finding more foreign strikers.

It is known that the club's management has also given about 30 people a trial and plans to recruit at least 3 more foreign players in the near future. Among them, the star who used to play in Europe, and especially played for Atletico Madrid and Osasuna in La Liga, Ibrahima Balde, is the most notable name.

However, there is also a factor that makes it difficult for FLC Thanh Hoa to convince Balde, which is the salary. It is known that the salary that the Thanh Hoa team's leadership accepts to pay is only 10,000 USD/month, a number that is considered below Balde's expectations.

However, FLC Thanh Hoa still has another 'weapon' to convince Balde, which is Pape Omar. Since Omar and Balde are both Senegalese players, Thanh Hoa is said to ask their striker to convince his compatriot to move to Thanh Hoa to play.

Previously, FLC Thanh Hoa signed a three-year contract with Pham Van Nam from Nam Dinh FC as well as recruited Trinh Quang Vinh after this player terminated his contract with the Ho Chi Minh City team. In addition, Nguyen Minh Tung is also preparing to join the club after saying goodbye to Than Quang Ninh.
