In the springtime of March 15, soha media from Vietnam revealed the heavy news that Vietnamese soccer star Nguyen Quang Hai's contract extension talks with Hanoi FC had nearly broken down, and that he was eager to step out of the country and start a new chapter in other Asian leagues.
The soha revealed that Nguyen Quang Hai has turned his sights overseas after talks with Hanoi FC broke down, with clubs in South Korea, Japan and Thailand reaching out to the 24-year-old midfielder, whose future destination is yet to be clarified.
However, SOHA noted that the Chinese Super League is also an attractive option for Nguyen Quang Hai. Many Chinese media have spoken highly of him, especially after Nguyen Quang Hai showed great strength as the centerpiece of Vietnam's midfield in the Round of 12.
The 1.68m tall youngster has scored 30 goals in the Vietnamese league and has been dubbed the "Vietnamese Messi" for his agile footwork and unique talent. His outstanding performances at Hanoi FC and in the World Cup have attracted the attention of many European clubs.
Although the Chinese Super League has implemented a strict salary limit policy for foreign aid, the annual salary limit is only 2 million euros, but for Nguyen Quang Hai, this is an unexpected "generous gift". In order to keep him, Hanoi FC offered the highest monthly salary in the history of Vietnamese soccer - 300 million VND, while Nguyen Quang Hai's expected salary of 400 million VND, leading to the final breakdown of negotiations.
From an objective point of view, Nguyen Quang Hai is much stronger than most players in the Chinese Super League, and his style of play is much easier to adapt to the Chinese Super League. His current contract with Hanoi FC will expire in April, and the fact that our team can bring him in for 0 transfer fee is extremely attractive to Chinese clubs.
More than 20 years ago, Vietnamese star Le Xuan Duc played in the Chinese Super League, briefly joining Chongqing Lifan and scoring one goal. Nowadays, the Chinese Super League faces many challenges but is still ranked among the top leagues in Asia, with big names such as Fellaini and Oscar. Could Nguyen Quang Hai be the next Vietnamese player to play in the Chinese Super League? (DD)
