Thai media speak out as Dinh Bac attracts interest from a Chinese club

Thai media, particularly MrFootballAEC, have offered significant insights on Nguyen Dinh Bac being pursued by a Chinese club, viewing this as the most realistic and fitting move currently.

Recently, Thai media have commented on the news that Nguyen Dinh Bac has caught the attention of a Chinese club, with MrFootballAEC showing particular interest and providing noteworthy analysis around this potential transfer.

According to MrFootballAEC, earlier rumors about Dinh Bac being scouted by giants like Real Madrid or Kawasaki Frontale are unrealistic and exaggerated by local media. The Thai football site outright denies the possibility of the U23 Vietnamese striker joining top European or Japanese clubs at present, and instead believes the most feasible destination is China.

MrFootballAEC cites information from Sohu, stating that Chinese football is seriously interested in Nguyen Dinh Bac, especially from Guangxi Hengchen, a newcomer in China League One. The Thai outlet considers this a “practical and reasonable” choice for the development of a rising Southeast Asian young player like Dinh Bac.

MrFootballAEC emphasizes that a Chinese club pursuing Dinh Bac accurately reflects both his professional value and commercial potential. After the 2026 AFC U23 Championship, where he scored 4 goals, provided 2 assists, and won the top scorer award, Dinh Bac is seen as a new symbol of Vietnam’s young generation. His achievements and leadership helped the U23 Vietnam team defeat U23 South Korea to claim third place, clearly demonstrating his ability.

Additionally, Thai media agree with Sohu’s view that Guangxi Hengchen is an ambitious club with strong financial backing and a long-term investment strategy. Targeting Dinh Bac, who is valued at only about 300,000 Euros, is regarded by MrFootballAEC as a smart move: low cost but high potential returns if the Vietnamese player continues to excel in Chinese football.

According to MrFootballAEC, if this transfer happens, it will be a significant step forward in Nguyen Dinh Bac’s career and also highlight the increasing attention Vietnamese young players are receiving in the Asian transfer market.
