Que Ngoc Hai joins Binh Duong, receiving a huge signing bonus.
(Baonghean.vn) - Contrary to all speculation, after leaving Song Lam Nghe An, Que Ngoc Hai has joined Binh Duong with a record signing bonus.
Previously, there were many reports suggesting that Que Ngoc Hai would choose Hanoi Police FC as his destination in the twilight of his career. This was because joining this team would allow the Vietnam national team captain to win more titles during his peak playing career.
According to information obtained by reporters, Que Ngoc Hai has joined Binh Duong on a two-year contract, with a signing bonus of 6 billion VND per year, received in a lump sum. This is considered a record transfer fee for a domestic central defender who is over 30 years old.
Previously, as reported by Nghe An Newspaper, after two seasons playing for his hometown team, central defender Que Ngoc Hai officially said goodbye to Song Lam Nghe An.
Que Ngoc Hai, born in 1993, made 38 appearances for Song Lam Nghe An in the 2022 and 2023 seasons, scoring 2 goals. He is a key player with a significant influence on the team's formation.
Regarding Que Ngoc Hai's new team, in the past season, Binh Duong conceded 23 goals (ranking second among teams with the most goals conceded in V.League 2023). Therefore, having the captain of the Vietnamese national team in their squad will help the team improve their defensive capabilities.
In the 2023 season, Binh Duong narrowly avoided relegation by achieving favorable results in the final rounds. Specifically, in round 3 of phase 2 of the V.League 2023, coach Le Huynh Duc's team secured a crucial 2-0 victory against Song Lam Nghe An. In that match, Que Ngoc Hai underperformed and was substituted in the 46th minute. Following that, Binh Duong won 3-0 against Khanh Hoa and drew 0-0 with Ho Chi Minh City FC in the final round to secure 4th place in Group B, thus officially avoiding relegation.
