Hapoel Be'er Sheva Eyes Contract Renewals for Key Midfielders

Hapoel Be'er Sheva, the reigning Israeli Premier League champions, are actively working on securing the futures of two key players, midfielder Eliel Peretz and defender Guy Mizrachi. Peretz, 29, has been a standout performer, recently scoring a 90th-minute winning goal in the team's 2-1 league opening victory against Hapoel Ramat Gan. The club is keen to finalize a new contract for Peretz, who will become a free agent in January and could attract interest from Maccabi Tel Aviv and Beitar Jerusalem.

Discussions regarding Peretz's contract are ongoing, with the club hoping to bridge the gap between their initial offer made earlier in the summer and the player's demands. The team's management is scheduled to meet on Sunday to discuss his future and that of Guy Mizrachi.

Mizrachi, described as a cornerstone of the team, is also in line for a contract upgrade and a potential extension. His current contract runs until 2028, and the club aims to ensure his long-term commitment.

The team's strong start to the league season, despite a recent setback in the Champions League qualifiers, has boosted morale and underscored the importance of retaining these players.
