Song Lam Nghe An terminates contracts with 2 foreign players ahead of schedule

2 foreign players Soladio and Vytas joined Song Lam Nghe An from the beginning of the 2023 season. Soladio is a Belgian national, playing as a striker, Vytas is from Lithuania and plays as a center back.
After nearly a season playing in V.League 2023 for Song Lam Nghe An, Soladio has been on the field 14 times (of which he was substituted mid-match 5 times), scoring 5 goals. The Belgian striker is one of the 2 players who scored the most goals for Song Lam Nghe An this season.

As for Vytas, during the last season, this central defender was in the starting lineup 16 times. In the 16 times Vytas played in the center-back position, Song Lam Nghe An lost 14 goals. Also last season, despite playing center-back, the Lithuanian player also scored 1 goal for the home team. The goal that this central defender scored was in the match of round 5, phase 1 of V.League 2023, when the home team Song Lam Nghe An was tied 1-1 with Binh Duong.

According to the contract signed between the two sides, Soladio and Vytas still have a term to play for the Nghe team until the end of August. However, after receiving the offer from the two foreign players, Song Lam Nghe An agreed and reached an agreement to terminate the contract ahead of schedule with both Soladio and Vytas.

Sharing with Nghe An Newspaper about the reason why Vinh Stadium team agreed to terminate the contract with the two foreign players mentioned above before the deadline, coach Phan Nhu Thuat said: "The contract with the two foreign players Soladio and Vytas will expire in 1 month. However, Soladio has a hip and ankle injury and will have to rest until the end of the season, so he wants to return to Belgium before the deadline, hoping to receive better treatment for his injury. As for Vytas, this central defender has a family matter so he also wants to terminate the contract earlier than expected."

Currently, Song Lam Nghe An has completed the goal of staying in the league this season. Therefore, the fact that 2 foreign players will no longer play in the final rounds will create opportunities for young players to play more.

Coach Phan Nhu Thuat also shared: "I highly appreciate the two foreign players Soladio and Vytas. They are very professional players in both daily life, training and competition."

Talking about the plan to recruit foreign players for next season, the head coach of Song Lam Nghe An said: "The break between this season and next season is very short, so after this season ends, we will have to present to the board of directors the plan to recruit foreign players, then we will proceed to find foreign players suitable for the team's playing style."

Also according to information provided by Song Lam Nghe An Club, striker Olaha has agreed to extend his contract with Song Lam Nghe An until the end of the 2023-2024 season. This is a very important player, contributing greatly to the attacking style of the Vinh home team last season. Olaha has many years of experience playing football in the V.league. In addition, the Nigerian striker is also very knowledgeable about Nghe An football. This is an advantage that helps this foreign player bring positive things to Song Lam Nghe An in the coming season.

Song Lam Nghe An will go through 2 more rounds to finish the 2023 season. First, in round 4 of phase 2, the Nghe team will travel to Hoa Xuan Stadium to meet SHB Da Nang. This match will take place at 5:00 p.m. on August 5.
