Omer Nir'on Nears Signing With Hapoel Ramat Gan After Lucrative Offer

Hapoel Ramat Gan, newly promoted to the Israeli Premier League, has started its Toto Cup campaign with a 2-1 comeback victory over Hapoel Petah Tikva, clinching the winning goal in the 86th minute. During the match, Ghanaian midfielder Frank Eruzi was substituted at halftime after receiving a yellow card. Concurrently, it was revealed that Omer Nir'on, the goalkeeper of Maccabi Netanya, is close to finalizing a deal with Hapoel Ramat Gan. Initially hesitant about joining Ramat Gan, Nir'on accepted an attractive financial offer. The club hopes to complete the signing soon to avoid searching for a foreign goalkeeper, especially since Niv Eliasi, goalkeeper for Hapoel Be'er Sheva, has indicated he does not intend to join the club.

In the match against Petah Tikva, two foreign players, Portuguese defender Jota Gonzalves and Brazilian forward Luan Campos, who scored the winning goal, started and performed well. The first goal was scored by Idan Bernes, on loan from Hapoel Tel Aviv. The starting lineup included three players who played for Ramat Gan last season, as well as Yevlo Getacho, who competed in the National League last season. Coach Masai Dago praised the team’s performance, noting the squad looks well-trained and guided, though he acknowledged it was only the first game and expects further improvements and new signings.
