VietNamNet Bridge – Striker Samson Kayole has to play for Hanoi T&T for three years since he cannot afford to pay over VND40 billion ($1.8 million) of compensation to this club, though Aletico Madrid - the famous Spanish FC – recruited him.
After V-League 2011 ended in mid-July, Dong Thap FC’s striker Kayole was recruited by Aletico Madrid. This club then lent Kayole to Braga, which is playing at the Portuguese Champion League. This affair was mediated by Tran Tien Dai and Tiago Calisto (son of former coach of the Vietnamese national team Henrique Calisto). As a free player, Kayole did not receive any transfer fee.

Before leaving Dong Thap FC, Kayole and his representative – Tran Tien Dai – negotiated with two Vietnamese FCs, Binh Duong and Hanoi T&T. He signed a memorandum of understand with Hanoi T&T to have $900,000 of transfer fee and $15,000 of monthly wage. Hanoi T&T asked the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) to not grant international transfer certificate for Kayole.

The Nigerian striker had to return to Vietnam in early August to negotiate with Hanoi T&T. This club agreed to let Kayole leave Vietnam but he has to compensate at least $2 million and return $900,000 of transfer fees. Kayole cannot afford to pay compensation so he must play for the Vietnamese club for three years.

Kayole played for Quang Ninh Coal FC at the First Division tournament 2009. He joined Dong Thap in 2010. At V-League 2011, he scored 17 goals and entered the top three scorers.
