The leaders of Song Lam Nghe An Club confirmed that Jhon Cley will join the Nghe An team from the Hanoi Police Club. The Brazilian striker is considered part of the exchange in the deal of right-back Ho Van Cuong moving to the Hanoi Police Club. The confirmation of SLNA leaders relieves the impatience of the team's fans when there were rumors that Jhon Cley would not leave the Hanoi Police Club.
SLNA does not have to pay any transfer fee, salary or "bribe" for Jhon Cley because the Brazilian striker joined on loan. Hanoi Police Club is still the team that pays the contractual benefits to Jhon Cley.
Jhon Cley joins SLNA.
Jhon Cley is still the top scorer in V-League 2023 with 11 goals, making an important contribution to helping Hanoi Police Club win the championship. SLNA is not a financially well-off team, so their foreign players in recent years have not been highly appreciated. Jhon Cley is expected to significantly change the quality of Coach Phan Nhu Thuat's attack.
Besides Cley, SLNA has soon finalized 2 other foreign players for the 2023/2024 season. Midfielder Michael Olaha will continue to be with the Nghe An team. In addition, they recruited center-back Mario Zebic.
In Ho Van Cuong's position, SLNA still has a quality veteran who can handle the right flank well, Tran Dinh Hoang. SLNA's concern lies in the center-back position when Que Ngoc Hai leaves and they still cannot find a suitable replacement.
In round 1 of V-League, SLNA met Viettel FC on October 22.
Jhon Cley's joining SLNA concluded the player "exchange" deal between this team and Hanoi Police Club. Previously, the 2023 V-League champion approached Ho Van Cuong and wanted the player to move to the new team soon. However, Van Cuong himself was hesitant and could not make a decision at that time. SLNA fans voiced their opposition because Van Cuong is a rare talent of the team that has shined recently.
But when the deadline for domestic player registration came, Hanoi Police Club confirmed that they had successfully recruited the Vietnamese player. On the contrary, Jhon Cley still participated in activities such as taking photos before the new season, attending the shirt announcement, and the departure ceremony of the reigning V-League champion. This made SLNA fans worried.
