Beitar Jerusalem Tries to Re-sign Midfielder Yarin Levi

Beitar Jerusalem secured their first win of the season, a 1-0 victory over Bnei Sakhnin on Saturday, easing pressure on the team after a difficult start. Midfielders Li'el Dar'i and Eugene Ansah showed improved performances, with coach Almog Cohen praising the players' attitude. The team felt significant tension before the match but managed to secure the three points.

Player Omer Atzili expressed frustration over his substitution, explaining he was upset with himself for a missed chance in the first half and what he perceived as incorrect calls by referee Oral Greenberg. He stated this led to a high level of frustration.

With the team's situation stabilizing, Beitar aims to strengthen by acquiring one or two new players, including a foreign midfielder. They are particularly keen on re-signing Yarin Levi from Maccabi Haifa. Almog Cohen confirmed efforts to bring Levi back to Beitar, citing delays in signing a dominant foreign midfielder and Levi's less favorable situation at Maccabi Haifa.

Discussions to bring Levi back to Teddy Stadium began last week and are accelerating. Levi has indicated a desire to return. Beitar owner Barak Abramov, who was abroad during the match, is awaiting approval from Maccabi Haifa owner Yaakov Shahar to negotiate Levi's return. If Maccabi Haifa agrees to the transfer, Beitar is reportedly considering offering a percentage of future sales to reduce the transfer fee.
