Hapoel Be'er Sheva Stars Kangva and Ventura Expected to Stay Amid Unsatisfactory Offers
Hapoel Be'er Sheva is set to officially start its season on Thursday with the Super Cup match against Maccabi Tel Aviv. Key players Kings Kangwa and Lucas Ventura are expected to be in the starting lineup. Both players are also anticipated to continue representing the club in the upcoming first qualifying round match against either Hungarian side Győr or Icelandic team Víkingur, who are playing their second leg today with Víkingur leading 1-0.
The club expects Kangwa and Ventura to remain through the second qualifying round and likely beyond. Owner Alona Barkat has set a transfer price of approximately 3 million euros for each player, but the offers received so far have not met these valuations. Meanwhile, Hapoel Be'er Sheva is actively seeking foreign reinforcements to strengthen their defense, specifically targeting a center-back and a left-back.
The club's focus remains on maintaining its core squad while bolstering defensive positions ahead of the new season in the Israeli Premier League.
