Other Vietnamese footballers such as Van Quyet, Cong Phuong and Tuan Anh have rejected suggestions from foreign clubs.
Midfielder Nguyen Van Quyet has refused to sign a contract with J.League 2 club Matsumoto. The captain of V-League defending champions Ha Noi T&T could not be replaced when the team had to compete in three competitions locally and internationally this season.
Hoang Anh Gia Lai FC has refused to transfer Cong Phuong to clubs in J-League and K-League.
Midfielder Tuan Anh has been listed in Greek team Olympiakos players eligible for selection consideration to signing the contract. Unfortunately, during a training session before the Lunar New Year in 2012, Tuan Anh torn ligaments and broken cross front meniscus, had surgery and had to miss out the opportunity to go abroad for this competition.
