In the shadow of the great uncertainty surrounding the club's future and with only about ten signed players, Betar Jerusalem has begun preparations for the upcoming season when it officially opens its training. "The situation is far from ideal, but from our side we are doing what we can," said a team source.
What is meant by doing what is possible?
Well, coach Yossi Aboksis along with his assistant Gal Cohen, are trying to build a roster and sign cheap players.
In this context, Israel Today learned for the first time that the black yellows are in negotiations with defender Hagai Goldenberg, who played last year for Bnei Sakhnin and also for Nof Hagalil, which went down to the national team.
The Jerusalemites lost their two right-backs this summer: Roi Herman, who signed with Floppy, and Amit Cohen, who returned to Bnei Yehuda, and in light of this they are trying to sign an Israeli right-back, and as mentioned, negotiations are underway with Goldenberg, who may join. In Maccabi Petah Tikva, Maccabi Netanya, Kiryat Shmona and Hadera.
And back to the opening training session, from which the injured Ophir Krieff was absent, and Gallio Hasselbaink, who will return to Israel only on Friday.
Brakeman Uriel Degani, who was told to look for a new team to break free from his high contract, took part in training due to the fact that he has a contract, but the intention is still that he will find a new team and not stay.
Betar has added to the training a number of players from the youth team as well as some players from the national league who may be signed. In a group.

About 60 fans came to the opening practice to express their protest against owner Moshe Hogg.
"Every Oded Moshe is celebrating yet the owner will not be training here."
The fan organization La Familia did not take part in the demonstration, claiming that the address for the demonstrations should be the budget control, the football association and Moshe celebrating himself.
