Ho Chi Minh City Police are about to welcome a 'blockbuster' from the Vietnam national team.

It is believed that Ho Chi Minh City Police are nearing a deal for Vietnam national team player Nguyen Nhat Minh to boost their roster for the 2026/27 campaign.

Ho Chi Minh City Police are demonstrating great determination ahead of the 2026/27 season by actively seeking quality contracts to upgrade their squad. As the transfer market begins to heat up, center-back Nguyen Nhat Minh has emerged as the top target for the police-affiliated club. Multiple sources indicate that both sides are very close to an agreement, and the deal could be announced in the near future.

After a highly successful 2025/26 season, Ho Chi Minh City Police are setting their sights on more ambitious goals. The team, under head coach Phung Thanh Phuong, not only finished in the top group of V.League but also brilliantly won the National Cup. Those positive results have laid the foundation for the management to boldly invest in the squad, preparing for the title race in the new season.

In their plan to upgrade the defense, Nguyen Nhat Minh is seen as a suitable name for the club's long-term development direction. Although there were reports that the center-back might join Ninh Binh, at the current moment, Ho Chi Minh City Police are said to hold a significant advantage in the race to secure the Vietnamese international's signature. If everything goes smoothly, this will be the team's first notable contract ahead of the new season.

Possessing excellent reading of the game and a calm playing style, Nhat Minh is regarded as one of the most promising young center-backs in Vietnamese football today. His consistent performances for the national youth teams have earned him trust from various coaching staff at both club and national team levels.

Recently, Nhat Minh has continued to be included in the list of 28 players called up by head coach Kim Sang Sik to the Vietnam national team to prepare for international friendlies and the 2026 ASEAN Cup. This is clear evidence of the continuous progress of the center-back born in 2004, and also shows that he is gradually becoming an important factor in the national team's squad-building plans.

Previously, Nhat Minh also left a strong impression in major tournaments. He stood out at the 2026 AFC U23 Asian Cup, contributing to U23 Vietnam's historic bronze medal, and was a key player for the team at the SEA Games 33. If he joins Ho Chi Minh City Police in the near future, the center-back is expected to bring solidity to the defense and become an important piece in the police club's ambition to conquer titles.
