Beitar Jerusalem Owner Reveals Record Budget, Rejects Player Offers
Beitar Jerusalem owner Barak Abramov has disclosed the club's precise budget for the current season, stating it stands at 79 million shekels (approximately $21 million USD). He emphasized that the player budget alone is 33 million shekels, marking it as the highest since the era of former owner Arcadi Gaydamak.
Abramov revealed that the club rejected six offers for its players this past summer, potentially worth between 10 to 11 million euros (approximately $11 to $12 million USD). He stated the decision was made not to sell, contrasting with other clubs that both acquired and sold players for significant sums.
The owner made these statements in response to criticism on social media, aiming to provide transparency regarding the team's financial situation and player retention strategy.
