Hapoel Ramat Gan Pursues High-Paid Defender Dylan Batubinsika Amid Squad Gaps

Hapoel Ramat Gan is currently training in Austria to solidify its existing squad, but the team, coached by Masai Dego, faces notable roster shortages. The club has made a substantial financial offer to French-Congolese defender Dylan Batubinsika, aiming to make him the highest-paid player on the team. Although Dego did not coach Batubinsika during his time at Maccabi Haifa, they share many mutual acquaintances, including former Haifa players who have recommended Batubinsika to join Hapoel Ramat Gan.

Several Israeli clubs have expressed interest in Batubinsika, who last season was relegated to Greece's second division with Larissa. Despite a successful stint at Maccabi Haifa, the defender is currently undecided about returning to Israel. Alongside recruiting young players, Hapoel Ramat Gan is focusing on signing significant foreign players expected to lead the team, especially given the lack of an attractive Israeli player market this season.
