Beitar Jerusalem in Talks for Colombian Defensive Midfielder Johan Torres
Following a significant loss to Hapoel Tel Aviv, Beitar Jerusalem is actively working to strengthen its midfield, specifically targeting Almog Cohen's position. The club is reportedly in negotiations to sign Colombian defensive midfielder Johan Torres, with agent Avi Nimani facilitating the discussions.
Torres, 23, currently plays for Independiente Santa Fe in Colombia's top league, where he has been since 2022. He developed through the club's youth system and has accumulated 167 appearances across all competitions, scoring five goals and providing five assists.
This move comes after Beitar Jerusalem's recent defeat, highlighting the team's immediate need for reinforcements. The potential acquisition of Torres represents a strategic effort to bolster the squad's defensive capabilities in the midfield.
