With a transfer value touching 300,000 Euros after his outstanding performance at the continental tournament, Nguyễn Đình Bắc has demonstrated both his footballing caliber and financial potential well beyond his years.
Brilliant success at the 2026 U23 Asian Championship finals served as the perfect launchpad that elevated striker Nguyễn Đình Bắc’s value to a new level. With the top scorer title and a dazzling display, the 2004-born forward officially entered the list of the 11 most valuable Vietnamese players, valued at 300,000 Euros (about over 9.2 billion VND) according to Transfermarkt.
This figure accurately reflects the development potential and influence of one of the most promising young stars in the current national team.
Notably, among the 11 most valuable players, Đình Bắc is the second youngest, proving his huge potential to break through compared to leading names like Rafaelson (600,000 Euros) and Quang Hải (400,000 Euros).
Đình Bắc’s value is not only on paper but also demonstrated through real financial strength. His income is generated from a very diverse range of sources.
At Công An Hà Nội club, which previously spent 3.5 billion VND just to “deposit” for his signing, Đình Bắc receives very generous salary and bonuses. Additionally, he earns large rewards thanks to impressive achievements in international competitions like the SEA Games 33.
Especially, with over 1 million followers on TikTok, Đình Bắc has become a valuable face for advertising deals and brand endorsements, helping him rapidly increase his wealth.
Thanks to his financial rise, the young striker has early fulfilled his wish to give back to his family by building a spacious house next to his parents’ old home in Nghệ An, and also buying his father a car for easier transportation. He himself has also acquired a personal car to meet his own needs.
If compared, Đình Bắc’s current status is closely chasing senior players on the list of Vietnam’s most valuable footballers. Leading this list are stars like Nguyễn Xuân Son, valued at 650,000 Euros, and Cao Pendant Quang Vinh at 500,000 Euros.
Among domestic players, Nguyễn Quang Hải currently holds the top spot as the most valuable local player with a price of 400,000 Euros, equivalent to about 12.4 billion VND. Right behind Quang Hải is Phạm Tuấn Hải with 375,000 Euros, along with other national team members like Đỗ Duy Mạnh, Nguyễn Tiến Linh, and Nguyễn Hoàng Đức, all valued at 325,000 Euros.
The 300,000 Euro gap between Đình Bắc and top-tier stars like Quang Hải and Hoàng Đức shows that the 21-year-old striker is very close to reaching the value level of the national team’s key players.
While Quang Hải earns more than 100 million VND per month at Công An Hà Nội plus a yearly signing bonus around 5 billion VND, Đình Bắc also enjoys a highly potential income thanks to his personal brand and international titles.
With sharp tactical thinking and rapid development, Đình Bắc has every chance to become the most valuable domestic player in the near future.
