Hapoel Be'er Sheva Goalkeeper Niv Eliasi Secretly Explores Greek Offer but Declines

Niv Eliasi, the goalkeeper for Hapoel Be'er Sheva, recently traveled secretly to Greece to evaluate a transfer offer from local club Levadiakos. After returning to Israel, Eliasi decided, at least for now, not to accept the proposal. Eliasi began last season as Be'er Sheva's first-choice goalkeeper but lost his starting position to Ofir Marciano toward the end of the campaign. The club also signed Marco Wolf from Maccabi Petah Tikva, further reducing Eliasi's chances of playing time. This situation prompted Eliasi to consider a move abroad, leading to his trip to Greece. Notably, Eliasi played in the final match of last season against Maccabi Haifa, a game of little consequence, as Marciano was rested ahead of the State Cup final, a match Eliasi reportedly did not perform well in. Previously, the club also featured goalkeepers Hisham Laius, Joel Abu Hana, and former Hapoel Tel Aviv and Hapoel Haifa player Alan Ozbolt.
