Betar Jerusalem's left defender Max Grechkin was on his way to the Ukrainian team Lazuria Luhansk, when the gaps between the clubs narrowed and it seems that the player went on loan for the season with a purchase option at the end. 

The one who is expected to replace him is Hapoel B'Shlosha defender Oren Bitton, whose candidacy for the team was first published in "Israel Today" about a month and a half ago, when the Jerusalemites are already in advanced talks with him.

Meanwhile, Betar Jerusalem players arrived today (Sunday) at the management offices, in order to sign the cut outline agreed with them, which is about 30 percent. As mentioned, the previous outline was 25% cut per player, but in light of the economic situation in Israel, the players were required To come even further towards the group.It should be noted that the low-wage earners will not be harmed.

The club's chairman, Eli Ohana, said after the signing: "We consider this signing a welcome step by the players, who gave a shoulder during a very difficult period for football and the Israeli economy. The team players have once again proved how important the club is to them, and deserve all the compliments on the move. At the same time, we are continuing our preparations for next season in the hope of building a strong and good team. "

The team's captain, Idan Vered, said after the signing: "The Corona epidemic has brought with it a new reality according to which it is right to conduct itself. No one likes to cut their wages, but this is when hundreds of thousands of citizens are fighting for warmth "Towards the club and really get" under the stretcher "- the waiver is personal to each player, for the benefit of the whole club. Hopefully we will know better days for everyone."
