Beitar Jerusalem edges closer to Eugene Ansah as Weissman fades from view
Beitar Jerusalem are moving ahead in their summer transfer plans after a strong second-place finish last season, with coach Almog Cohen aiming to build an even better team for 2026/27. The current expectation is that striker Shon Weissman will not join the Jerusalem club, which has pushed Beitar to advance talks with Eugene Ansah instead.
The club is also considering adding another Israeli striker to the squad. Beitar hopes to finalize Ansah's signing within the next few days so it can travel to its training camp with a full roster.
According to the report, Beitar offered Ansah an annual salary of 280,000 euros, on a two-year contract with yearly raises and an additional option year. Ansah had extended his deal with Ashdod until 2027 last summer, but after the club was relegated to the second division, he became a free agent.
There is still no update on Dor Peretz, and Beitar continues to wait for his decision about his future.
