Hapoel Ramat Gan Signs Brazilian Defender Marcio Silva as Seventh Foreign Player
Hapoel Ramat Gan is finalizing its roster for the upcoming season after significant changes to its squad. The newly promoted team recently signed three foreign players: Serbian midfielder Sergej Mijailovic, Cameroonian forward Marius Novisi, and Brazilian defender Marcio Silva, who has agreed to terms and will soon arrive in Israel for medical tests. Silva, who has played three matches in Brazil's top league, will partner with Portuguese defender Jota in defense.
The club is also pursuing winger Matan Hozaz, a free agent after leaving Hapoel Jerusalem. Hozaz reportedly prefers Ramat Gan's offer over that of Bnei Sakhnin, and the club hopes to finalize his signing before the league starts. Meanwhile, the goalkeeper position remains unsettled, with the team considering signing Mohammad Abu Neil from Bnei Sakhnin.
These moves reflect Hapoel Ramat Gan's efforts to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season in the Israeli Premier League.
