AEK Athens Negotiates Record Deal for Be'er Sheva Star Kings Kangwa

Kings Kangwa, who led Hapoel Be'er Sheva to the Israeli Premier League title last season, is in advanced negotiations to transfer to Greek champions AEK Athens. Although Kangwa is still playing for Be'er Sheva, the clubs are discussing a deal that could see him move soon. Currently, AEK's offer exceeds 2.5 million euros, the highest bid Be'er Sheva has received for the player, but it has not yet met the club owner Alona Barkat's expectations. It is estimated that if the offer surpasses 3 million euros, Be'er Sheva will accept it.

In addition to the transfer fee, AEK Athens is offering Kangwa a substantial salary increase, proposing 700,000 euros per season compared to his current 300,000 euros at Be'er Sheva. The 27-year-old midfielder joined Be'er Sheva in the summer of 2024 for under one million euros and has been a key player in the Israeli league. In his debut season, he scored 14 goals and provided 8 assists, and last season he contributed 12 goals and 9 assists in 33 league appearances, helping secure the championship.

The negotiations reflect AEK's strong interest in acquiring Kangwa, and the deal is expected to be finalized if the financial terms meet Be'er Sheva's demands. This potential transfer marks a significant step in Kangwa's career, moving from the Israeli league to a prominent European club.
