Hapoel Be'er Sheva Seeks to Sign Defender Idan Nachmias Before Europa League Deadline

Hapoel Be'er Sheva is actively pursuing the signing of Israeli defender Idan Nachmias from Bulgarian club Ludogorets. The club aims to complete the transfer by Wednesday, the registration deadline for the Europa League group stage, following their recent 2-1 victory over Hapoel Ramat Gan. Nachmias, 29, is currently under contract with Ludogorets for two more years, earning 400,000 euros per season. He previously played for Maccabi Tel Aviv until August 2025, when he moved to Ludogorets after his contract expired. Nachmias has 18 caps for the Israeli national team and has played for Ironi Kiryat Shmona (2017-2021) and Maccabi Tel Aviv (2021-2025). Last season, he made 27 appearances for Ludogorets, but this season he has only played full matches in the first two league games and has not featured in the last three rounds. Hapoel Be'er Sheva is looking to strengthen its central defense ahead of the Europa League group stage.
