Hanoi FC continues its dominance in the transfer market, officially extending the contract of captain Văn Quyết today (February 14th). The new contract spans three years, securing the talented striker with the capital club until he turns 37.
While the exact figures remain undisclosed, sources close to the club report that Hanoi FC paid a record-breaking signing bonus of 18 billion VND over three years. This marks the highest signing bonus in the club’s history and signifies a significant investment in the squad.
Văn Quyết has now surpassed a significant milestone, becoming the highest-paid player in Vietnamese football history in terms of signing bonus. In his previous five contract extensions with Hanoi FC, Văn Quyết received a total of 34 billion VND. This puts him behind only Quang Hải, who received 37 billion VND after two stints with Hanoi’s Công an Hà Nội club.
Including the 18 billion VND bonus from this new deal, Văn Quyết’s career earnings now total 56 billion VND. Other prominent stars, such as Quang Hải (37 billion VND), Hoàng Đức (30 billion VND), and Tuấn Hải (28 billion VND), are potential future candidates to break this record.
Born in 1991, Văn Quyết began his football career in 2011. If he completes the new contract, he will have spent a remarkable 17 years with Hanoi FC, a testament to the long-standing relationship between player and club.
“I love this place, and I want to contribute to Hanoi FC while I can. There is no better place than Hanoi,” Văn Quyết shared after signing the new contract. “Thank the club for always giving me the opportunity to play and shine. Thank the fans for always being by my side throughout the journey. Let’s continue to achieve new milestones.”
In the 2024/25 season, Văn Quyết surpassed Công Vinh’s record (116 goals) to become the all-time top scorer in V-League history with 119 goals. Considering all competitions, the striker has scored 169 goals in 378 appearances for Hanoi FC. He has also won five V-League titles (2013, 2016, 2018, 2019, 2022), three National Cups (2019, 2020, 2022), and four National Super Cups (2018, 2019, 2020, 2022).
Conclusion:
Văn Quyết’s contract extension is not only a personal success but also a testament to Hanoi FC’s remarkable growth. With his impressive achievements and long-term commitment, Văn Quyết embodies the spirit of professional and dedicated sportsmanship. The new signing bonus record will undoubtedly spur healthy competition within Vietnamese football.
