Hanoi FC further solidified its strength in the transfer market today (February 14th) by officially extending the contract of captain Văn Quyết. The new three-year deal will keep the talented striker with the capital club until he turns 37.
While both parties kept the specific figures in the new contract confidential, reliable sources indicate that Hanoi FC paid a record-breaking signing bonus to Văn Quyết, amounting to 18 billion VND over three years. This is the highest signing bonus in the club’s history, marking a significant step forward in their investment in the squad.
Văn Quyết has surpassed a significant milestone, becoming the player with the highest signing bonus in Vietnamese football history. In the past, after five previous contract extensions with Hanoi FC, Văn Quyết received 34 billion VND. This places him behind Quang Hải, who received 37 billion VND after his two stints with Hanoi Police Club.
Including the 18 billion VND signing bonus in this new extension, Văn Quyết’s career total now surpasses 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 candidates to break this record in the future.
Born in 1991, Văn Quyết began his football career in 2011. If he completes his new contract, he will have spent a remarkable 17 years with Hanoi FC, a noteworthy figure in Vietnamese football history. This demonstrates the strong and lasting relationship between the player and the club.
“I love this place, and I want to contribute to Hanoi FC while I still can; there’s no better place than Hanoi,” Văn Quyết shared after signing the new deal. “Thank you to the club for always giving me the opportunity to play and shine. Thank you to the fans for always supporting me throughout this journey. Let’s continue to achieve new milestones together.”
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-standing commitment, Văn Quyết is an icon of professional and dedicated sportsmanship. This new signing bonus record will likely inspire healthy competition within the Vietnamese football scene.
