Beitar Jerusalem Plans to Make Luka Gadrani One of Top Earners Amid Conference League Campaign

Beitar Jerusalem arrived in Romania ahead of their UEFA Conference League third qualifying round match against Austria Vienna on Thursday at 20:30. Between 1,500 and 2,000 fans are expected to support the team. For the first time this season, defender Nevo Shado, who joined in the summer, is included in the squad. Ori Dahan remains out of the squad as he considers several offers and must decide on his future. Currently, he is the fifth center-back on the team, which may still sign another defender. Luka Gadrani has returned to the squad and is simultaneously negotiating a new, improved contract with the club. Beitar officials declined to comment on the possibility of facing Braga in the playoff round, emphasizing their focus solely on the upcoming match against Austria Vienna, a club with a budget twice as large as theirs. The club plans to officially begin contract talks with Gadrani within the next two weeks, aiming to raise his salary to between 350,000 and 370,000 euros per year, which would make him one of the highest-paid players on the team. The proposed contract length is two to three years, depending on the agreed terms.
