Vietnam star Le Cong Vinh is having a tough time in deciding on the future of his playing career, after being presented with a fresh offer from Japan.
J2 League side Consadole Sapporo has sent a third proposal to Cong Vinh’s current club, Song Lam Nghe An (SLNA), in hopes of securing his signature. Consadole had taken the striker on loan since July this year, with a view to the deal ending in January 2014.
However, the 28-year-old returned to Vietnam one month earlier than agreed and reportedly declined a second offer from Consadole to SLNA, which was worth US$60,000.
The new offer is worth US$240,000, which is four times more than the initial one, is enough to trigger release clause in the contract between Cong Vinh and his hometown club. As a result, Cong Vinh is now free to end the current deal and hold contract talks with the Japanese club.
However, the V-League all-time top scorer has not made up his mind and will leave his future in the hands of SLNA.
