Viettel is about to recruit the best striker of V-League 2020

After an impressive 2020 season, Pedro and 15 teammates said goodbye to Saigon FC. Although he is achieving many successes here, the Brazilian striker wants to find a new environment to challenge himself. Besides, finance and treatment are also important reasons leading to Pedro's decision to leave.

With class has been shown inV.LeagueIn the past two seasons, Pedro and his close teammate Geovane quickly became "hot commodities" on the transfer market. Recently, striker Geovane "docked"Hanoi FCwith a salary of approximately 20,000 USD.

Pedro (pink shirt) is the player who scored the most goals in V-League 2020.

Viettel is in dire need of reinforcements to compete in three fronts in the 2021 season, including V.League, National Cup and AFC Champions League. Therefore, Pedro could be a quality addition for the military team to realize its ambition to fly far. Compared to other competitors, Viettel has a strong financial foundation and is willing to pay extremely high salaries, not inferior to the amount Hanoi FC paid Geovane to get Pedro.

In V.League 2020, Pedro is the striker who scored the most goals, with 12 goals equal to Rimario. If this striker is available,Viettelwill be like a "tiger with wings" to continue to be a rival to Hanoi FC in the domestic championship race.
