Hanoi FC plans to 'buy' the captain of The Cong Viettel

Bui Tien Dung is the transfer target of Hanoi FC.

According to VTC News, center-back Bui Tien Dung has become a transfer target for Hanoi FC when the 2024/25 season ends. The player born in 1995 is the favorite center-back of coach Makoto Teguramori.

Bui Tien Dung's contract with his home team The Cong Viettel will expire in a few months. Therefore, it is not illegal for the star of the Vietnamese national team to freely negotiate with other teams. Financially, Hanoi FC is willing to pay Tien Dung a higher price than what The Cong Viettel offered in the new contract.

However, the biggest problem for Bui Tien Dung is not necessarily the financial story. In December 2018, Bui Tien Dung was admitted to the Party, a rare honor for a professional player in Vietnam. The center-back himself also has a more obvious "soldier quality" than many of his teammates at The Cong Viettel club.

Therefore, although Hanoi FC has contacted Tien Dung, they understand that the success rate of this deal is not high. The capital team is still preparing other options in defense besides Thanh Chung and Duy Manh. At the beginning of this season, Hanoi FC signed a contract with Vietnamese-American player Kyle Colonna, but he only played well in the first few rounds.

Recently, Kyle Colonna has been playing poorly and has not been able to perform as professionally as he did at the beginning of the season. Meanwhile, young central defenders like Le Van Ha, Nguyen Duc Anh and Vu Van Son are still inexperienced and have not yet been able to handle the task.

If Hanoi FC offers an "irresistible" price, Bui Tien Dung may still consider it. However, moving from The Cong Viettel to the same city team Hanoi FC is still a psychological barrier that is not easy to overcome for many players in military uniforms. Therefore, if Tien Dung signs a contract extension with The Cong Viettel, it will not surprise many people.
