Hapoel Tel Aviv is preparing for their upcoming Conference League qualifying matches against Ludogorets, with the team set to fly to Hungary for the first leg. Despite a lack of goals or assists in their recent match against Beitar Jerusalem, player Stav Turiel is expected to lead the attack. Coach Eliniv Berda plans to maintain the current defensive lineup, with a full squad available except for second goalkeeper Dor Binyamin.
Meanwhile, the club is actively working to strengthen the team and is in negotiations with Christian Barleta, a 25-year-old winger from Sport Recife in Brazil's second division. Barleta, who can also play behind the striker, is targeted to fill the offensive role following the sale of Luisos to Vizo. He was purchased about two and a half years ago for 1.2 million euros and has two years remaining on his contract, which runs until summer 2028.
Sport Recife demands over 2.5 million euros for Barleta, a fee that could make him the most expensive signing in Hapoel Tel Aviv's history, surpassing the current record of 1.8 million euros paid for Daniel Daffa. The club is eager to finalize negotiations before considering other candidates. Additionally, Hapoel Tel Aviv is also looking to sign a left-back as part of their squad reinforcement efforts.
