The striker of the Vietnamese national team is valued at 700,000 euros. This is the most expensive player in the history of Vietnamese football. Although only the 15th most expensive in Southeast Asia, Xuan Son is still on this list.

The price of the Nam Dinh Club striker has skyrocketed after the success in the AFF Cup 2024. Before the tournament, this player was valued at 500,000 euros. However, after helping the Vietnamese team win the championship and win two individual awards as the Best Player and Top Scorer of the AFF Cup 2024, Xuan Son increased by 200,000 euros.

Unfortunately, Xuan Son's value growth has stopped when this player suffered a serious injury in the second leg of the AFF Cup 2024 final. The Brazilian player may need up to 9 months of treatment. That makes him unable to play for the Vietnam national team and Nam Dinh Club.

Indonesia dominates the most expensive squad in Southeast Asia with 6 names present. They are goalkeeper Maarten Paes (1.8 million euros), 4 defenders: Kevin Diks (4.5 million euros), Mees Hilgers (9 million euros), Jay Idzes (3 million euros) and Calvin Verdonk (2.5 million euros), central midfielder Thom Haye (1.5 million euros).

Thailand also has 4 players honored: Supachok Sarachat (800,000 euros), Chanathip Songkrasin (1 million euros), Suphanat Mueanta (800,000 euros) and Supachai Jaided (1.2 million euros). Of which, two players Chanathip and Supachai will not participate in the AFF Cup 2024.

In the future, Indonesia can continue to dominate this squad when the President of the Football Association of this country (PSSI), Erick Thohir, is looking to naturalize more expensive players of Dutch origin to serve the ambition of winning tickets to the 2026 World Cup. In the past, this team could naturalize 6 more players.

They are Ole Romeny, Miliano Jonathans, Tristan Gooijer, Jairo Riedewald, Pascal Struijk and Emil Audero. They all made a certain mark in European football. Pascal Struijk and Jairo Riedewald both played in the Premier League for Leeds and Crystal Palace. At this time, Pascal Struijk is still on the payroll of Leeds playing in the English First Division.

Emil Audero is an experienced goalkeeper who has played for many years in Serie A for Sampdoria, Juventus and Inter Milan. Currently, the 1997-born goalkeeper is playing for Como Club in Serie A. In the past, Emil Audero played for all levels from U15 to U21 of Italy.
