The extension was included in Nhu’s previous contract with Lank FC Vilaverdense, and this clause was activated by the club due to their satisfaction with the performance of the Vietnamese player. During the previous season, she demonstrated her exceptional skills on the field by scoring a total of seven goals and successfully completing two passes in various competitions while proudly representing Lank FC Vilaverdense. The exact increase in Nhu’s salary has not been disclosed; however, experts in football anticipate that it will surpass the 1,500 euros (US$1,627) per month that she earned in the previous season.
