Lucao do Break has officially ended his time with The Cong - Viettel after the 2025/26 season through an emotional open letter, and sources suggest he is nearing a move to Ninh Binh to link up again with coach Chu Dinh Nghiem in the 2026/27 V-League.

Lucao do Break has officially closed his chapter with The Cong - Viettel by posting a heartfelt message on his personal page, just before joining Ninh Binh. The Brazilian striker's remarks quickly drew attention from fans, marking a farewell after a successful season wearing the Red Cyclone.

On his personal page, Lucao posted a brief status update with the message Thank you, as if to conclude his time with The Cong - Viettel. The striker, born in 1991, wrote: "We fought until the very last moments, always proud to wear the Viettel jersey and honored to win the runner-up title."

Not only mentioning the team's achievements, Lucao also expressed gratitude to the management, coaching staff, teammates, support staff, and fans who accompanied him throughout the past season. The Brazilian striker also had special words for the S-shaped land, sharing: "Thank you, Vietnam, for welcoming my family and becoming our second home."

The post was accompanied by a series of photos capturing Lucao's memorable moments in the The Cong - Viettel jersey, from celebrations with teammates, interactions with fans, to family moments in Vietnam. All served as a heartfelt goodbye before he embarked on a new chapter in his career.

During the 2025/26 season, Lucao was one of the most prominent figures in The Cong - Viettel's attack. With his experience and proven goal-scoring ability in the V-League, the Brazilian striker played a key role in helping the army-backed team secure the runner-up spot. Besides scoring important goals, he also linked up play and created space for his teammates.

Right after parting ways with The Cong - Viettel, Lucao is believed to become one of the new signings of Ninh Binh. This is considered one of the most notable transfers for the Hoa Lu team during the summer transfer window, as they continue to show their big ambitions for the 2026/27 V-League season.

In Ninh Binh, Lucao will reunite with coach Chu Dinh Nghiem, who knows the Brazilian striker's abilities well. He will also join a quality group of foreign players including Lucas Turci, Marciel da Silva, Romeu Martins Rezende, and Fred Friday, forming a core that is expected to be competitive enough against the top contenders in the V-League.
