The V-League transfer market is bustling during the World Cup season.

The 2026 World Cup draws fans' attention with high-level games and world‑class stars, yet on another front, Vietnamese football is just as lively. The 2026/27 V-League transfer season has begun.

If the World Cupis where national teams showcase their elite level, then the V‑League transfer market acts as a "power blueprint" for the entire upcoming season.

In that context, every rumor is more than just news—it's a statement of ambition, a clue whether a club aims to rise up or merely maintain stability.

Therefore, even as the ball rolls at the World Cup, Vietnamese football fans still closely follow updates about players, coaches, and behind‑the‑scenes negotiations.

Newly promoted V‑League sides Đồng Nai and Bắc Ninh are expected to undergo major squad overhauls. Earlier rumors suggested that goalkeepers Đình Triệu and Bùi Tiến Dụng might leave Hải Phòng for Đồng Nai, joining former national team players such asCông Phượng, Minh Vương, and Xuân Trường…

Defender Hồ Tấn Tài is also reportedly on the target list. If Đồng Nai spends heavily, it's no surprise—coach Việt Thắng needs reinforcements to survive in next season's V‑League. Both Đồng Nai and Bắc Ninh may have to replace all four foreign players.

The Kinh Bắc region club already owns experienced names such as Bruno Cunha, Hải Huy, Hà Đức Chinh, and Văn Đại. However, to hold their ground in a fierce competition, Bắc Ninh still needs greater squad depth. The upcoming moves of coach Paulo Foiani's side will also be worth watching.

On the flip side, Hải Phòngis worrying fans as the club may lose its core players. After the coaching change with veteran Chu Đình Nghiêm departing, several key figures—Antonio, Việt Hưng, Trung Hiếu, Đình Triệu, and Bùi Tiến Dụng—have been linked with exits.

Relegated teams like Becamex TP.HCM are also caught in the transfer storm. Names such as Việt Cường, Bùi Vĩ Hào, and Võ Hoàng Minh Khoa are being chased by many clubs. Notably, Vietnam international striker Việt Cường, aged 26, is in high demand.

Among the title contenders, the transfer race is even more intense than on the pitch. After a successful season, Công an Hà Nội is working hard to keep key players like Alan, Artur, and coach Mano Polking, and is reportedly close to an initial agreement with striker Henen David (SHB Đà Nẵng) to strengthen the attack.

ClubCông an TP.HCMis also actively involved, frequently linked with targets such as national team center‑back Nhật Minh, former international Phan Văn Đức, defender Văn Đức (CAHN), ex‑SLNA captain Michael Olaha, and even Uzbekistan international Odiljon Hamrobekov.

Other giants like Nam Định, Hà Nội FC, Thể Công Viettel, and Ninh Bình are also expected to make aggressive moves. Nam Định might target Tuấn Hải or Minh Khoa; Hà Nội FC needs a squad rebuild under coach Harry Kewell to regain their status; while Thể Công Viettel focuses on bolstering their midfield with Ngọc Tân (Thanh Hóa), Việt Hưng (Hải Phòng), and winger Trung Hiếu (Hải Phòng).

Though most current information remains at the rumor stage, these "yet‑to‑materialize waves" generate considerable buzz for the V‑League during the season transition.
