Beitar Jerusalem Offers Contract to Colombian Midfielder Alexis Serna Ahead of Season

Beitar Jerusalem has submitted an offer to sign Colombian midfielder Alexis Serna as the club seeks to strengthen its squad ahead of the new season. The 28-year-old Serna, who currently plays for Independiente Medellín, is under contract until the end of 2027. Standing 1.70 meters tall, he primarily plays as a central midfielder. In the 2026 season, Serna made 25 appearances for Independiente Medellín, scoring three goals and providing two assists, often starting matches in the lineup.

Serna began his professional career with Universitario Popayán before moving to Alianza. In January 2020, he transferred on a free to Deportes Quindío in Colombia's second division, where he spent five years. Over the past two seasons, he has been with Independiente Medellín. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is approximately 450,000 euros. Notably, Beitar Jerusalem's Colombian defender Bryan Carabalí also played for Independiente Medellín during his youth, potentially easing Serna's integration.

Beitar Jerusalem is considering two other candidates for the midfield position as it prepares for the upcoming Israeli Premier League season. The club's efforts to bolster the squad come after its recent exit from European competition, highlighting its intent to improve domestic performance.
