The truth about the information that Japanese club Sapporo wants to recruit Phan Van Duc
(Baonghean.vn) - SLNA midfielder Phan Van Duc is said to be receiving attention from Consadole Sapporo - the Japanese team that Le Cong Vinh used to play for. However, the possibility of Phan Van Duc leaving the Nghe An team at this time is not high.
Recently, domestic media reported that Japanese club Consadole Sapporo wants to have the services of a Vietnamese player next season. Specifically, the club's homepage posted information about looking for a Vietnamese interpreter for one of their Vietnamese players.
This has led to many sources of information saying that Van Lam will wear the shirt of the Hokkaido home team. However, Van Lam is very good at English and the Vietnam national team goalkeeper himself is very happy at Muangthong United after a very impressive season.
On the other hand, Consadole Sapporo FC has another equally excellent foreign goalkeeper in their squad, Gu Sung Yun, who was once called up to the Korean national football team.

According to sources from Thailand, this club is looking to recruit a winger from Vietnam and Nguyen Van Toan and Phan Van Duc are two players considered to have a high potential to "go abroad".
However, Mr. Duc recently announced his decision to keep Van Toan as well as a series of other faces to fight with Hoang Anh Gia Lai in V.League 2020.
The most likely case is Phan Van Duc. However, the midfielder born in 1996 still has two years left on his contract with SLNA. The midfielder of SLNA has just returned from injury, so the possibility of playing abroad is not high.
Although after the 2019 Asian Cup, Phan Van Duc revealed that many Japanese teams wanted to recruit him. However, up to this point, Sapporo Club or those teams have not once officially worked in writing with SLNA Club.
Phan Van Duc himself also shared with Nghe An Newspaper reporters his wish to one day play abroad. However, the player from Yen Thanh also affirmed that this is not the right time for him to play for any team other than SLNA.
Thus, Nghe An fans can be completely assured that Phan Van Duc will continue to wear the SLNA shirt to compete in V.League 2020. Next season, he, along with Pham Xuan Manh, Ho Tuan Tai, Hoang Van Khanh and goalkeeper Van Hoang, are expected to be the leading birds.
