Hapoel Be'er Sheva Eyes Brazilian Midfielder Alan as Top Earner Amid Champions League Push

Hapoel Be'er Sheva is preparing for a crucial upcoming match and simultaneously seeking to strengthen its squad during the transfer window with high-value players. One key target is Brazilian midfielder Alan, who could replace Kings Kangwa, recently transferred to Panathinaikos. Alan is demanding a salary of $500,000 per season, which would make him the highest-paid player on the team if he agrees to join. Additionally, as a free agent owning his own rights, Alan is requesting a substantial signing bonus estimated between $1 million and $1.5 million.

The club believes that qualifying for the Champions League could persuade Alan to sign. Alan is an attacking midfielder who developed in Palmeiras' renowned youth academy. He gained significant recognition as part of Brazil's under-17 national team that won the South American Championship, contributing with 9 appearances, 2 goals, and 5 assists. Despite high expectations, he struggled to secure a permanent spot in Palmeiras' senior team and spent several seasons on loan before moving to the Portuguese league, where he began to establish himself.

Last season, Alan played 34 matches across all competitions, scoring 5 goals and providing 5 assists. Hapoel Be'er Sheva hopes his arrival will bolster their squad as they aim for success in the Israeli Premier League and continental competitions.
