Agent Details Niv Eliasi’s Move from Hapoel Be’er Sheva to Greek Club Levadiakos

Niv Eliasi, the young goalkeeper, left Hapoel Be’er Sheva on August 2, 2026, to join Greek club Levadiakos on loan. His agent, Gilad Katzav, explained on Sport 5 that Be’er Sheva was reluctant to let Eliasi join major Israeli clubs competing with them, and that the player preferred moving abroad rather than transferring within Israel. Katzav noted there were offers from Austria and another Greek team, but Eliasi chose Levadiakos for professional and financial advancement, with the club holding an option to buy him.

Katzav highlighted that Eliasi’s goal was to play in Europe despite the less-than-ideal circumstances at Be’er Sheva. He praised the Greek league and country as good environments for Eliasi’s growth and mentioned an upcoming private derby against Kings Kangwa in the first round. Katzav acknowledged disappointment over the situation at Be’er Sheva but emphasized the player’s positive years there, including a significant role in last season’s championship and being part of the national team squad.

The agent also touched on other player moves: Dor Hugy’s transfer to Maccabi Netanya, which he described as a strong club with good reinforcements, and Dolev Haziza’s move from Maccabi Haifa to Netanya. Katzav said Haziza was disappointed not to continue at Haifa but chose Netanya as the best option among several, including offers from Poland. He affirmed that Haifa still holds Haziza in high regard.

Katzav concluded by expressing hope that Eliasi’s move abroad will benefit him both on and off the field, respecting Be’er Sheva’s decision and looking forward to his success in Greece.
