Denso Airy Bees has recently sent an official offer to Thuy’s VTV Binh Dien Long An club.

The Japanese side wants Thuy, whose current deal with them will end in mid-May, back in action with them in September.

Last year, Thuy joined Denso Airy Bees after a one-week try-out. The 1.93m Vietnamese star is the second tallest player of the team.

No details of the contract were released but it was reported that Thuy, the second Vietnamese female volleyball player competing abroad after Nguyen Thi Ngoc Hoa, received up to 4 billion VND (170,000 USD) annually.

VTV Binh Dien Long An managers have not made a final decision about Thuy but they strongly support her sharpening her skills at Denso Airy Bees.

Denso Airy Bees are the third foreign club that Thuy, a key player of the national team who won silver at the 30th Southeast Asian Games, has played for.

Earlier, she had played for Bangkok Glass of Thailand and Attack Line of Chinese Taipei./.
