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

According to reports, Ho Chi Minh City Police are nearing an agreement with Vietnamese player Nguyen Nhat Minh to bolster their roster for the 2026/27 campaign.

Ho Chi Minh City Police are showing strong determination ahead of the 2026/27 season, actively seeking quality contracts to upgrade their lineup. As the transfer market heats up, central defender Nguyen Nhat Minh has emerged as the police club's top target. Multiple sources indicate that both parties are very close to reaching a deal, and the transfer could be announced in the near future.

After a highly successful 2025/26 season, Ho Chi Minh City Police are aiming for even more ambitious goals. Under the guidance of head coach Phung Thanh Phuong, the team not only finished among the top in the V.League but also clinched the National Cup. These positive results provide a solid foundation for the management to boldly invest in the squad, preparing for the title race in the new season.

In the plan to strengthen their defense, Nguyen Nhat Minh is seen as a suitable candidate for the club's long-term development strategy. Although there were earlier reports that the central defender might join Ninh Binh, at present, Ho Chi Minh City Police are said to hold a significant advantage in the race for the Vietnamese international's signature. If everything goes smoothly, this will be the team's first notable signing before the new season.

With an ideal height, excellent reading of the game, and a calm playing style, Nhat Minh is regarded as one of the most promising young central defenders in Vietnamese football today. His consistent performances in various national youth teams have earned him trust from coaching staffs at both club and national team levels.

Recently, Nhat Minh continued to be included in the list of 28 players summoned by coach Kim Sang Sik to the Vietnam national team for preparation for international friendlies and the 2026 ASEAN Cup. This is clear evidence of the continuous progress of the central defender 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 his mark at major tournaments. He stood out at the 2026 AFC U23 Asian Cup, contributing to the U23 Vietnam team's historic bronze medal, and was a key player for the national team at the 33rd SEA Games. If he joins Ho Chi Minh City Police in the coming period, this central defender is expected to bring solidity to the defense and become an important piece in the police club's ambitions to conquer titles.
