Hapoel Be'er Sheva Nears Agreement to Transfer Kings Kangwa to AEK Athens

Hapoel Be'er Sheva expects to finalize the transfer of midfielder Kings Kangwa to AEK Athens on Monday, July 20, 2026. The main question is whether the deal will close immediately or after Be'er Sheva's upcoming two-legged matches against Vikingur from Iceland. AEK has yet to meet Be'er Sheva's asking price, which ranges between 3.5 and 4 million euros, but the club anticipates that AEK will soon offer within this range, enabling the transfer to proceed.

Club officials noted that negotiations are not imminent and might not conclude in the next few days, though the situation remains fluid. Kangwa's close circle expressed that it is the right time for him to move on, highlighting his dedication to Be'er Sheva despite difficult conditions and acknowledging AEK as a prestigious club in a strong league.

If AEK raises their offer today, Kangwa could transfer before Be'er Sheva's match tomorrow. Otherwise, he is expected to participate in the two matches against Vikingur, with the assumption that the offer will increase eventually. The proposed contract for Kangwa with AEK is reportedly worth 750,000 euros annually, excluding bonuses, for two years with an option for a third season.
