Hapoel Be'er Sheva Nears Deadline to Sign Two Foreign Players Ahead of European Competitions
Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

With nine days remaining until the September 3rd deadline to register players for European competitions, Hapoel Be'er Sheva is actively negotiating to strengthen its squad. The club aims to add two foreign players, specifically a defender and an attacking midfielder, before the registration cutoff at 23:59 European time. Players registered after this deadline, even if signed during the Israeli transfer window, will be ineligible for European matches.

Hapoel Be'er Sheva has secured a spot in the UEFA Europa League and is competing tonight in Azerbaijan against Sabah FC with hopes of making history by qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. The club's priority is signing an attacking midfielder, with three foreign players targeted for this role. Formal offers have been sent to two candidates, while the third, Alan, a 26-year-old Brazilian free agent who previously played for Palmeiras and Moreirense, remains a significant option if others decline.

Regarding the defensive line, the club has yet to finalize a new center-back signing. Despite losing his starting position, Jibril Diop is expected to remain with the team. Current starting center-backs are Miguel Vitor and Itay Rotman, with Matan Baltaxia also available. The club aims to add another defender before the registration deadline to bolster the squad depth for the upcoming European fixtures.
