In goal, goalkeeper Caíque Luiz Santos da Purificação is the most notable name. The Brazilian goalkeeper is nearly 2 meters tall, has played for the U20 Brazil team and has experience playing in Europe and the US. He was brought in by Nam Dinh with a transfer fee of 800,000 euros, becoming the last stopper of the Southern team in the new season.

Ahead of Caíque is a defense line with many quality names. Center-back Lucas, who has been with Nam Định since last season, continues to play an important role in the center of defense. He joined Nam Định in February 2024 with a 2-year contract. Transfermarkt values this player at 225,000 euros. In the 2024/25 season, Lucas played 21 matches in all 4 competitions that the Nam Định team participated in and scored 2 goals.

Next to him is Mitchell Dijks, a left-back who has played for Ajax Amsterdam and Bologna. With a height of 1.94 m and experience playing in European tournaments, Dijks promises to bring solidity to Nam Dinh's left wing. He is valued at 600,000 euros.

Nam Dinh's midfield this season has brought together many new faces. Njabulo Blom, a South African midfielder who played in MLS, is known for his good blocking ability and abundant stamina. In the transfer market, the player born in 1999 is valued at 950,000 euros.

Next to him is Caio Cesar, a Brazilian midfielder who has played for Nam Dinh since last season, who stands out for his ability to control the ball and coordinate with his teammates. Caio is worth 600,000 euros. Last season, he played 31 matches and scored 4 goals for the Nam Dinh team in all the competitions the team participated in.

In addition, before the new season, Nam Dinh also brought in Palestinian player Mahmoud Eid. The player with dual Palestinian-Swedish nationality is worth 600,000 euros, and has played football in Europe and the Middle East.

Another new signing is Romulo, a Brazilian midfielder worth 500,000 euros, who brings more depth to the midfield. The presence of four foreign players in midfield gives Nam Dinh more options in personnel arrangement and ball deployment.

In attack, Nam Dinh owns the most expensive names in V.League. Percy Tau, a South African striker worth 1 million euros, who used to play in the Premier League, is the most prominent face. He is expected to bring speed and diverse finishing ability to the team from Nam Dinh.

Besides Tau, Brenner, the striker who joined Nam Dinh in March 2025, is considered a replacement for Xuan Son after the striker born in 1997 suffered a serious injury and had to take a long-term leave. Brenner quickly left his mark with 6 goals after 12 matches in three arenas: National Super Cup, V.League and AFC Champions League Two.

In addition, Kyle Hudlin attracted attention as soon as he joined Nam Dinh thanks to his outstanding physique. The English striker born in 2000 is 2.06 m tall, a rare height in professional football.

Before coming to Vietnam, Hudlin played for many clubs in England and was expected to become a dangerous spearhead for Nam Dinh in aerial situations. In the National Super Cup, he came off the bench and scored twice, although the home team still lost to CAHN.

From goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders to strikers, Nam Dinh has built a foreign squad with names rich in international experience and high transfer value. This is the core force that helps the team from Thanh Nam confidently enter the new season with the goal of competing for titles in both domestic and continental competitions.
