(Baonghean.vn) - It is known that the end of the 2020 season is also the time when the contract between Tran Phi Son and Ho Chi Minh City Club will officially expire. The possibility of the midfielder from Ha Tinh continuing to work with the Thong Nhat Stadium team is still open.

Revealed to Nghe An Newspaper,Tran Phi Sonaffirmed: "Currently, I and the Board of Directors of Ho Chi Minh City Club have not discussed the issue of signing a new contract. In the immediate future, I will try to play well in the remaining matches atV.League 2020, then consider the future. The final decision will be made in the near future."

Since joining the Thong Nhat Stadium team (early 2018), the player nicknamed "Vietnam's Ronaldo" has not been able to maintain the excellent form he had when playing for SLNA. In addition to constant injuries, Tran Phi Son also has to face fierce competition for a position in the attack of the 2019 V.League runner-up.

In this year's season, after an impressive start with 3 assists in the 2020 AFC Cup group stage, Tran Phi Son's performance has gradually changed in a negative direction. Even in the 0-0 draw ofHo Chi Minh City ClubBefore Hai Phong in round 3 of phase 1 of V.League 2020, Tran Phi Son was also considered the "sinner" of the home team when he missed a very delicious opportunity.

Over time, the midfielder born in 1992 had to be on the bench more and more times. He could not perform at his best when playing alongsideNguyen Cong Phuongon the attack line, is the reason why Tran Phi Son was "abandoned" by the coaching board of Ho Chi Minh City Club. Objectively speaking, the fault mostly lies with coach Chung Hae-seong and his colleagues.

Up to this point, in V.League 2020, Tran Phi Son has only scored 1 goal, which was a successful penalty kick in the 2-5 loss of Ho Chi Minh City Club to HAGL, in round 13 of phase 1. This is too modest an achievement for the player known as "Vietnam's Ronaldo". Don't forget, Tran Phi Son contributed 6 goals and 9 assists for Ho Chi Minh City Club in V.League 2018 (the most in the team).

It can be seen that, with the current situation, the possibility of Tran Phi Son leaving Ho Chi Minh City Club after 3 years of association is not small. Thanks to his proven class, the former SLNA midfielder will be an attractive target for many teams with both financial potential and ambition to conquer titles. And who knows, Tran Phi Son will return to Vinh Stadium, like the cases of Nguyen Quang Tinh, Hoang Van Binh, Tran Dinh Dong...
