Hapoel Be'er Sheva Considers Brazilian Defender Leo Bulgado for 2026/27 Season

Hapoel Be'er Sheva is currently working on assembling its squad for the 2026/27 season, which will include a long European campaign in one of UEFA's three competitions. The club is looking to strengthen its defense, particularly the center-back position. According to Sport 5, the name proposed to the team's coaching staff is 27-year-old Brazilian defender Leo Bulgado, who currently plays for Romanian club CFR Cluj. Bulgado spent the latter half of last season on loan at Rapid Bucharest, where he made 15 appearances, scoring one goal and providing one assist. Prior to his time in Romania, Bulgado played mainly in Portugal's second division with Leixões and also had a stint at Casa Pia. Hapoel Be'er Sheva is evaluating him as a potential defensive reinforcement ahead of their upcoming domestic and European challenges.
