Gia Bao named second most valuable U17 player in Asia by Transfermarkt
VOV.VN - Vietnamese rising star Tran Gia Bao has been named the second most valuable player at the 2025 AFC U17 Asian Cup, according to renowned German football website Transfermarkt.
The site estimates the 16-year-old midfielder’s market value at EUR 50,000, the same as Quinn MacNicol, captain of the Australian U17 team.
At just 16, he became the youngest player ever registered in the national premier league and the youngest goalscorer in V.League 1 history.
