Hot transfers before V.League 2019 kicks off
(Baonghean.vn) - The Vietnamese player transfer market has been very active before the new season begins.
Que Ngoc Hai
At the end of the 2018 V.League season, Que Ngoc Hai officially said goodbye to SLNA after more than 15 years of association. Although negotiations took place, due to insufficient economic potential and ambition, the Nghe An team could not retain the captain of the Vietnam national team.

Immediately, the emerging football force Viettel, with its strong economic potential and great ambition in its first participation in the V.League, contacted the Vietnamese national team player and the two sides soon found a common voice. Right after returning with his teammates to convincingly win the AFF Cup 2018, the contract between Que Ngoc Hai and Viettel was officially announced. With a "briefing" of 9 billion VND, the contract between the two sides will be for 3 years and at the new club, Que Ngoc Hai will join his teammate in the national team, Bui Tien Dung, to form a solid central defender duo from Nghe An to accompany the new team to conquer titles.
Dang Van Lam
After the success of the Vietnamese national team in conquering the Top 4 of ASIAD 2018 and winning the AFF Cup, the best goalkeeper in Southeast Asia was contacted by Thai club Muangthong United to come to Hai Phong club to release the contract and recruit him.

After agreeing on the amount of 3 billion VND to help Dang Van Lam become a free player, Muangthong United and the number 1 goalkeeper of the Vietnam national team belong to each other with a 3-year contract. At the new club, Van Lam will receive a salary not inferior to other foreign players playing here, up to 10,000 USD/month and will be provided with a car and a private house like other teammates.
On February 4, the 30th of Tet, this goalkeeper will fly to Thailand for a medical examination and if he passes, the new contract will be announced 2 days later.
Bui Tien Dung
After the 2019 Asian Cup, goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung became a shocking blockbuster contract when he left Thanh Hoa to join Hanoi FC. On the afternoon of January 28, the goalkeeper born in 1997 had his debut with the capital team at Hang Day Stadium. Here, Bui Tien Dung will reunite with players in the national team such as Van Quyet, Duy Manh, Dinh Trong, Quang Hai, Hung Dung, Duc Huy, Van Hau...

It is known that goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung will receive a salary of 40 million VND/month, almost as high as captain Van Quyet and even higher than Quang Hai. However, he shared that the reason he chose Hanoi was because of the ambition of this club.
Ngo Hoang Thinh
After 3 seasons with Thanh Hoa Club, Ngo Hoang Thinh ended his contract and became a free agent. Many teams wanted to sign this midfielder born in 1992, including his old team SLNA, Viettel and Than Quang Ninh... However, the midfielder from Nghe An has chosen a new and surprising destination, Ho Chi Minh City Club, where his "senior" Huu Thang is the chairman of the team in the city named after Uncle Ho.

Ngo Hoang Thinh has signed a 2-year contract, the details of the transfer fee were not disclosed by both parties. Here, this player will reunite with his former teammate who played for SLNA, Tran Phi Son, who previously joined Ho Chi Minh City Club since the 2018 season.
Blockbusters are about to explode
The most notable among the players who are preparing to have a new destination is Trong Hoang when the Nghe An player after a year of exploding in the national team in the new position assigned by coach Park Hang-seo has just ended his contract with Thanh Hoa club. There has been a lot of attention sent to the right-back of the Vietnam national team, most notably from his old team SLNA and the new rich player Viettel, some Malaysian clubs...
However, until now, when the 2019 V.League season is about to start, Trong Hoang has not yet chosen a new destination for himself. It is known that before the 2019 Asian Cup started, Trong Hoang was rated the highest in the Vietnam national team compared to his teammates on player value assessment sites.

Two other players from Nghe An are also receiving attention from clubs in Japan and Korea, Phan Van Duc and Nguyen Cong Phuong. After resounding successes in regional and continental arenas, the two rising young stars have received many attractive offers from foreign teams.
Players of a higher level such as Quang Hai or Doan Van Hau are rumored to have additional offers from faraway Spain in Europe, along with a series of clubs in Thailand, Japan, Korea, China, etc. ready to offer attractive contracts.
It can be seen that after the success of Vietnamese football under Park Hang-seo, a series of new rising stars followed, the players who joined the national team mostly increased their value and this was also one of the most exciting transfer seasons ever before the V.League started.
