Hapoel Petah Tikva Nears Deal to Transfer Winger Tchapioka Songa to Portuguese Club Moreirense

Hapoel Petah Tikva is advancing preparations for the upcoming Israeli Premier League season while managing key player transfers. The club is in advanced negotiations with Portuguese side Moreirense regarding the transfer of talented winger Tchapioka Songa. Moreirense has increased their offer to 600,000 euros plus a percentage of any future sale, raising optimism within Hapoel Petah Tikva that the deal will be finalized. Songa is eager to move to Portugal, attracted by the chance to compete in a more challenging league and join a club known for developing players who move on to top European teams.

For Hapoel Petah Tikva, Songa's departure presents a significant challenge as they prepare for their return to the Premier League, especially after already losing Joslin Tabi in January. The club will need to find a replacement winger ahead of the new season. Meanwhile, they continue to seek reinforcements for their attacking and midfield lines, including monitoring the situation of young midfielder Itay Ehud, who may join on loan from Maccabi Haifa. Although the transfer is not yet complete, the improved offer from Moreirense has increased confidence that Songa will soon make the move.
