Beitar Jerusalem Awaits Alexis Serna's Decision as Player Loan Possible

Beitar Jerusalem is preparing for its first Premier League match of the season against Maccabi Netanya on Saturday, after their opening game against Hapoel Tel Aviv was postponed due to the latter's participation in European competition. Meanwhile, the club is actively working on finalizing its squad and is awaiting a response from Colombian midfielder Alexis Serna, who currently plays for Independiente Medellín. Serna has received an offer from Beitar Jerusalem, and his decision will impact the team's roster moves. If Serna signs, 22-year-old midfielder Nadav Markovich is expected to be loaned out. Markovich, who is under contract until 2028, has previously been loaned to Hapoel Kfar Saba and Hapoel Ramat Gan, with whom he achieved promotion to the Premier League. This season, Markovich has made one appearance, playing nine minutes against AEK Larnaca in the Conference League qualifiers.
