Doan Van Hau has 1 month to convince SC Heerenveen

According to the latest information, the Dutch league will start again in September. If that happens, the Dutch Football Federation will cancel the remaining matches of the 2019-2020 season to start the new season. Some clubs have also expressed their agreement.

Thus, the opportunity for Doan Van Hau to play in the Dutch league is still available. According to the contract signed with Hanoi FC, the defender was wearing SC Heerenveen as a loan until June. However, FIFA decided to give the club the right to retain players and not recognize any other deal in June.

"We made the decision based on the previous FIFA proposal, allowing the clubs to retain their players even if someone is going to expire," he said, “to help the teams get enough strength when they play again.

For players who expire on June 30, FIFA cannot request that the contract be automatically extended but merely detain the player to continue playing for the current club until the end of the season. After that, the market will reopen, at which point the players can leave or extend the contract in accordance with the transfer law."

The summer transfer will be canceled, replacing it with a special transfer in mid-October to November for a period of 16 weeks. Doan Van Hau will stay in the Netherlands at least until October. If the Dutch league starts in September, the Thai Binh-born defender will have about a month to find himself a chance to persuade SC Heerenveen's leadership and sign a new contract.
