Alona Barkat refused the huge offer: Hapoel Be'er Sheva star is in demand
The young midfielder, Mohammad Abu Rumi, who arrived in January from Ironi Kiryat Shmona and helped the Reds win the sixth championship in the club's history, is attracting great interest from overseas.
After Hapoel Be'er Sheva secured a "hot winter" and a spot in one of the European leagues, Mohammad Abu Rumi, who arrived in the January transfer window from Ironi Kiryat Shmona and helped the Reds win the sixth championship in the club's history, is attracting great interest from overseas.
According to a report on the "Sport Channel", the club's owner, Alona Barkat, refused an offer from the Russian team Akron Tolyatti, which stood at 1.5 million euros for the purchase of Abu Rumi. It was further reported that the salary offered to the player is considered particularly high relative to the Premier League and stood at about 700 thousand euros.
As recalled, Hapoel Be'er Sheva officially parted ways with midfielder Kings Kangwa, who was sold to the Greek Panathinaikos. According to reports, Kangwa was previously close to signing with AEK Athens, but the deal fell through after the Greek club demanded that the player not appear in the match against Víkingur. Now, owner Alona Barkat is expected to bring about 3.8 million euros into the club's coffers, a sum that may grow to 4.5 million euros, plus bonuses.
On the professional front, the Reds from the south continue to work on strengthening the squad, and during the last week completed the addition of the Portuguese Pedro Amador, a 27-year-old left-back.
