Beitar Jerusalem Defender Ori Dahan Offered to Israeli Premier League Club Amid Transfer Uncertainty

Hapoel Petah Tikva is preparing for a crucial Toto Cup match against Maccabi Netanya on August 5, where dropping points would end their chances of advancing. Meanwhile, the club continues to seek foreign players after the arrival of defender Diego Aroyo has been delayed due to his current club, Shakhtar Donetsk, not releasing him. Another defender, Ori Dahan from Beitar Jerusalem, who is not in his current club's plans and aims to move abroad, was offered to Hapoel Petah Tikva.

Hapoel Petah Tikva received positive news as defender Alexander Musonda returned to training, but the club decided not to risk playing him immediately following muscle injury recovery. Frank Ribola, who has impressed in training and earns about 9,000 euros monthly, is expected to start in the upcoming match, likely replacing Shavit Mazal as striker. Defensive changes are also planned after a recent loss to Hapoel Ramat Gan, with Avishai Cohen and Yazan Nasser expected to start.

The club also appealed to fans to respect goalkeeper Omer Katz, who recently agreed to terms with Maccabi Haifa but was not released by Hapoel Petah Tikva. The club reminded supporters of Katz's commitment to stay even when the team faced relegation threats to Liga Alef.
