Hapoel Be'er Sheva Nears Signing Brazilian Midfielder Alan as Key Squad Reinforcement

Hapoel Be'er Sheva is making significant progress in negotiations to sign Brazilian midfielder Alan, who is viewed as a potential replacement for Kings Kangwa in the team's midfield. Alan, 26, has played for Portuguese club Moreirense since 2023, accumulating 141 appearances with 25 goals and 26 assists. He also has four caps for Brazil's youth national team and developed in Palmeiras' youth system. His breakthrough came as a key player in Brazil's U17 South American Championship-winning squad, where he made nine appearances, scored twice, and provided five assists.

If the deal is finalized, Alan would become Hapoel Be'er Sheva's highest-paid player. Reports indicate he is demanding a salary of $500,000 per season and a signing bonus between $1 million and $1.5 million, arriving as a free agent with his transfer rights in hand. Despite the club not qualifying for the Champions League group stage, the team remains optimistic about Alan's willingness to join.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva aims to complete the signing before the registration deadline and is also pursuing a foreign central defender to strengthen the squad further. The club is actively accelerating talks to secure these reinforcements ahead of the new season.
