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 actively rejected six offers for its players during the summer transfer window, potentially forfeiting between 10 to 11 million euros (approximately $11 to $12 million USD). He explained this decision was made to retain the squad, contrasting their approach with other clubs that both bought and sold players for significant sums.
The owner made these statements amidst online criticism regarding the team's situation, aiming to address concerns directly and provide transparency about the club's financial standing and transfer strategy.
