AEK Athens Conditions Kanagawa Transfer on Player Sitting Out Tonight's Match

A transfer deal for Kings Kangwa from Hapoel Be'er Sheva to AEK Athens has been agreed upon for 3.5 million euros, with all player terms settled. However, AEK Athens has issued a critical condition: if Kangwa participates in tonight's match against Vikingur, the transfer will collapse because he would be ineligible to play for AEK in the Champions League qualifiers. This message was conveyed to Be'er Sheva both directly and through Kangwa himself. Despite this, Be'er Sheva insists on fielding Kangwa in the upcoming game, planning to start him in the lineup. The 27-year-old midfielder joined Be'er Sheva in summer 2024 for under one million euros and has been a key player, scoring 14 goals and providing 8 assists in his first season, then leading the team to a championship last season with 12 goals and 9 assists in 33 league appearances. The next few hours are expected to determine whether the transfer will proceed or if AEK will pursue other options.
