After the AFF Cup 2024, striker Nguyen Xuan Son's transfer value increased by about 100,000 euros to 700,000 euros (about 18.3 billion VND), according to Transfermarkt (UK).
Nguyen Xuan Son shines for Vietnam national team at AFF Cup 2024 thanks to life-changing decision
However, if before that (after the 2023-2024 season), this Brazilian player decided to leave Nam Dinh Club to move to a club in Saudi Arabia as proposed with a revealed fee of about 2.9 million euros (more than 75 billion VND), he could have become the most expensive player in Southeast Asia.
Because the most expensive player at present is midfielder Jalil Elias (28 years old, Argentine), who is being loaned by Johor Darul Ta'zim Club to Velez Sarsfield (Argentina) for 6 months, worth about 65 billion VND (2.50 million euros), according to the New Straits Times .
Xuan Son chose to stay at Nam Dinh Club, become a naturalized citizen and play for the Vietnamese team at the AFF Cup 2024 to deservedly win the championship, become the best player of the tournament and win the title of top scorer.
This is a decision that is considered to have changed Xuan Son's life. The transfer value of this 27-year-old player is currently estimated at 700,000 euros, but he has been rewarded many times more than this value, thanks to his efforts on the field in the Vietnamese national team's shirt.
According to the New Straits Times , Xuan Son is currently not in the top 10 most expensive players in Southeast Asia, but in the future when he returns to play after injury and continues to demonstrate his top ability, his value will approach 1 million euros.
With this value, it will be equivalent to the players in the top 10 with high value in the region such as Alvaro Gonzalez and Chico Geraldes (both of Johor Darul Ta'zim Club), along with Freddy Alvarez and Chanathip Songkrasin of BG Pathum United Club (Thailand), all are valued at 1 million euros (about 26.2 billion VND).
The second most valuable player in the region is striker Bissoli of Buriram United (Thailand). This Brazilian striker is valued at 2 million euros (52.4 billion VND), followed by Bart Ramselaar of Lion City Sailors (Singapore) at 1.6 million euros (41.9 billion VND). Two other players of Buriram United, striker Supachai Chaided (Thailand) and Lucas Crispim (Brazil), are ranked next, both with a value of 1.2 million euros (31.4 billion VND).
“There are a number of factors that contribute to these valuations, including a player’s age, potential, talent, contract situation, image rights, international experience, injury record, the financial strength of the league and club, as well as the overall value of the league,” said Faidauz Azhar, a FIFA-licensed player agent.
V-League total value ranked 4th in the region?
Also according to Mr. Faidauz Azhar, in an interview with the New Straits Times : "Based on the values of the players, especially the top 10 players with the highest prices today. Some statistics show that Malaysia's M-League is ranked 2nd in Southeast Asia after Thailand's Thai League 1 in terms of total market value, among the 5 biggest tournaments in the region."
Vietnam's V-League is considered highly attractive thanks to the attention of the audience.
Accordingly, the New Straits Times newspaper said that the M-League is currently worth 8.4 million euros (more than 220 billion VND), while the Thai league leads with 10.3 million euros (269.9 billion VND).
Next is Singapore's S-League with a value of 5.3 million euros (138.8 billion VND), Vietnam's V-League ranked 4th with a value of 4.9 million euros (about 128.3 billion VND). Ranked 5th is Indonesia's National Championship with a value of 4.4 million euros (115.2 billion VND).
"Despite being ranked second in the region, the M-League has fewer teams and very few competitive matches. 90% of clubs have a negative return on investment based on annual spending. Most clubs here also depend on state funding, so spending is limited, as most of it is used to pay salaries. Television rights revenue is also not high.
In Malaysia, the high value of the tournament is only thanks to the Johor Darul Ta'zim Club with huge investment. Therefore, if compared to V-League or Thai League 1, it is clearly completely different. M-League shows financial unsustainability, low appeal and very small audience," said Mr. Faidauz Azhar.
