Hoang Duc's barrier
Midfielder Hoang Duc's contract with The Cong Viettel will expire in January 2025, when he turns 27. Sharing with Thanh Nien Newspaper, Hoang Duc confirmed that he will not sign a new contract, but will find a new destination to challenge himself.

"People talk a lot about money when my contract is about to expire. Income is definitely something to consider for a player about to turn 27 like me, when facing the first contract of his career. Friends of the same age have signed one or two contracts, but for me, it is the first contract. So it is definitely something to consider, anyone in my situation would probably think the same.
However, money is not the top priority. In the most recent offer, The Cong Viettel is willing to meet all financial requirements, but I want to find a new environment, new challenges to improve myself in the rest of my career," Hoang Duc emphasized.
The midfielder born in 1998 shared: "I had a meeting with the team's leadership and announced my decision. I cherish every remaining match with The Cong Viettel. Even if I have one more day wearing the The Cong Viettel shirt, I will play my best."
Hoang Duc's wish is to contribute until the end of January 2025 and then leave to find a new team for the second phase of the season. However, The Cong Viettel Club chose a different solution. According to Thanh Nien Newspaper's source, the military team will create conditions for Hoang Duc to leave with the reason: to help the midfielder born in 1998 have time to integrate into the new environment, instead of having to play for each team for half a season.
To have Hoang Duc, clubs must pay a 'ton of money' for The Cong Viettel
However, The Cong Viettel has a condition: the team that wants to own Hoang Duc must pay to buy back half a year of this player's contract. The transfer fee that The Cong Viettel offers can be up to several billion VND, enough to make any team hesitate.
The amount of several billion VND for the remaining half year of Hoang Duc's contract is making the future of the 27-year-old midfielder unpredictable. Initially, he reached an agreement to join a northern team. After that, Hoang Duc received an invitation from Thanh Nien TP.HCM Club, but refused because he wanted to continue playing in the V-League.
Currently, Hoang Duc is in the sights of at least 3 teams. But the price The Cong Viettel offered to sell Hoang Duc, combined with the never-ending competition between teams wanting him, has made it impossible for the reigning Vietnamese Golden Ball to determine whether to stay or go, and if he does, where... he will go.
Question mark Van Lam
Similarly, Van Lam has not yet decided on a destination. Initially, the goalkeeper born in 1993 left Binh Dinh Club to join Thanh Nien TP.HCM Club, under a 3-year contract, with a support fee and salary of up to 6.8 billion VND/year.
Van Lam's name is on the registration list of Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club.
But he still practices with Binh Dinh Club.
In the most recent friendly tournament, Ho Chi Minh City Youth Club included Van Lam's name in the tournament list (but not in the competition list), although in theory, Van Lam is still a member of Binh Dinh team, and the future will be determined after the tournament ends.
It seemed that the contract between Van Lam and Thanh Nien TP.HCM was only a matter of time, but recently, the deal had a new development. A first-class team sent an offer to borrow some players from Thanh Nien TP.HCM, including goalkeeper Van Lam. So until the deadline for player registration, Van Lam's future may be decided.
