Xuan Son's contract with Nam Dinh extended to a record-long term, ensuring a lifelong commitment

The homepage of Nam Dinh Green Steel announced contract extensions with a series of players including goalkeeper Tran Nguyen Manh (until 2028), Duong Thanh Hao (2029), Nguyen Van Vi (2029), Caio Cesar (2028), Lucas Alves (2026), Nguyen Phong Hong Duy (2028), Ly Cong Hoang Anh (2029), Tran Van Dat (2029), Tran Van Kien (2029), Le Vu Phong (2028), Tran Liem Dieu (2028) and Nguyen Dinh Son (2028).

Among these, the highlight is Nguyen Xuan Son. He is the only one to have a contract signed past the 2030 milestone.

By staying at Thien Truong Stadium until 2031, it can be said that Xuan Son will be with Nam Dinh until the end of his career. This player has been extended for 6 years, a rare thing not only in Vietnam's football field.

Normally, except for Chelsea, football teams around the world only sign a maximum 5-year contract with a player. In LPBank V-League 1, the rare player besides Xuan Son who is retained for such a long term is probably Thanh Chung. Earlier this year, he signed a 5-year contract with Hanoi FC, allowing the central defender to stay until 2030.

The detail that Nam Dinh "tied" Xuan Son with a 6-year contract shows the importance of this striker to the club. He once refused heavy offers from West Asia to stay in Nam Dinh and contribute to Vietnamese football, and Xuan Son's sincerity is being rewarded.

By keeping most of the pillars, coach Vu Hong Viet's team shows its determination to build a sustainable and powerful "empire" in LPBank V-League 1. It can be seen that few teams extend long-term contracts with a series of pillars like Nam Dinh just did.
