On March 15, a wave of news from Vietnamese soccer spread rapidly in Beijing time. According to the well-known Vietnamese media soha disclosed that the country's soccer star player Nguyen Quang Hai's contract renewal negotiations with Hanoi FC have reached an impasse, and he himself has shown a strong willingness to go away to other Asian leagues to continue his career.
SOHA further revealed that Nguyen Quang Hai's target has shifted to overseas leagues after talks between the two sides broke down. A number of Asian clubs, including South Korea, Japan and Thailand, have reportedly shown keen interest in the 24-year-old midfielder. However, Nguyen Quang Hai has yet to decide on his final destination.
SOHA pointed out that for Nguyen Quang Hai, the Chinese Super League is also an option worth considering. Numerous Chinese media outlets have spoken highly of his strengths. Nguyen Quang Hai performed well as the centerpiece of Vietnam's midfield in the recently-concluded Round of 12 tournament, helping the team beat our country 3-1.
The 1 meter 68 tall player has scored 30 goals in the Vietnamese league, and despite his small stature, he is known as the "Vietnamese Lionel Messi" for his agility and unique talent. Nguyen Quang Hai has attracted the attention of many foreign teams, including European clubs, thanks to his outstanding performances in Hanoi FC and the World Cup.
The report pointed out that although the Chinese Super League (CSL) currently imposes a strict salary limit on foreign aid, with an annual salary cap of only 2 million euros (about 50.3 billion VND), making it difficult to attract stars from Europe and South America, it is a generous "gift" for Nguyen Quang Hai. In order to retain Nguyen Quang Hai, Hanoi FC offered the highest monthly salary in the history of Vietnamese soccer - 300 million VND (about 83,300 yuan), while Nguyen Quang Hai's psychological expectations of 400 million VND, so the negotiations eventually broke down.
Objectively speaking, Nguyen Quang Hai is better than most players in the Chinese Super League and his playing style is easier to adapt to the Chinese Super League. His contract with Hanoi FC expires in April, and the fact that our team was able to bring him in for a transfer fee of 0 is a major attraction.
More than 20 years ago, Vietnamese star Le Xuan Duc traveled to the Chinese Super League (CSL) to join the then Chongqing Lifan, but made only four appearances and scored one goal. Nowadays, despite the crisis, the Chinese Super League is still among the top leagues in Asia, with stars such as Fellaini and Oscar. So, will Nguyen Quang Hai be the next Vietnamese player to play in the Chinese Super League? (DD)
