Hapoel Be'er Sheva Signs Brazilian Midfielder Joao Victor Without Release Clause

Hapoel Be'er Sheva announced on July 2, 2026, the signing of 22-year-old Brazilian winger Joao Victor. The player is set to join the team's training camp in Poland on Saturday to finalize the transfer. The club expressed great satisfaction with acquiring the young Brazilian, highlighting his potential to be a significant asset in the Israeli Premier League and describing him as the refreshing addition the squad needed.

The club views the signing as both a professional and financial investment for the future. Notably, Victor's contract does not include a release clause, aligning with the club's approach for foreign players, which could enable a substantial future transfer fee. This strategy reflects the club's confidence in his development and potential resale value.

Meanwhile, club owner Alona Barkat arrived at the training camp in Poland to oversee preparations for the upcoming season. She is also expected to discuss with midfielder Kings Kangwa, who has recently expressed a desire to leave the club. Concurrently, Hapoel Be'er Sheva continues to seek additional reinforcements, focusing primarily on acquiring a foreign left-back and center-back.
