Hapoel Ramat Gan Signs Brazilian Defender Marcio Silva as Seventh Foreign Player
Hapoel Ramat Gan, recently promoted to the Israeli Premier League, is finalizing its roster for the upcoming season after significant changes. The club has added three foreign players this week: Serbian midfielder Sergej Mijailovic, Cameroonian forward Marius Nwosu, 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, is expected to partner with Portuguese defender Jota in the backline.
In addition to these signings, Hapoel Ramat Gan is pursuing winger Matan Hozez, a free agent after leaving Hapoel Jerusalem. Hozez reportedly prefers Ramat Gan's offer over that of Bnei Sakhnin, and the club hopes to finalize the deal before the league starts. Meanwhile, the goalkeeper position remains unsettled, with the club considering signing Mohammed Abu Neil from Bnei Sakhnin.
These moves reflect Hapoel Ramat Gan's efforts to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season, aiming to compete effectively in the top division.
