Hapoel Be'er Sheva to Discuss New Contracts for Eliel Peretz and Guy Mazarhi

Hapoel Be'er Sheva, the reigning Israeli Premier League champions, are set to hold meetings regarding the future of two key players, midfielder Eliel Peretz and defender Guy Mazarhi. The club is looking to secure new contracts for both players amidst interest from other teams.

Peretz, 29, who scored the winning goal in the 90th minute of their 2-1 victory over Hapoel Ramat Gan to open the league season, is a free agent in January. The club had offered him a new contract earlier in the summer, but significant gaps remained. Hapoel Be'er Sheva hopes to present an improved offer to bridge these differences and reach an agreement. Both Maccabi Tel Aviv and Beitar Jerusalem are reportedly interested in signing Peretz in January.

Concurrently, the club aims to upgrade the salary of Guy Mazarhi, described as a cornerstone of the team. They also wish to extend his contract, which currently runs until 2028, to ensure his long-term future with the club. The team is pleased with Peretz's strong start to the season and is eager to resolve the contract situations for both players.
