Beitar Jerusalem FC Picks Up 7 New Transfers
With many fans and sports analysts worrying that the team would be unable to pick up fresh players to compete in the 2022/23 season, these fears have been quashed, though, as the team has successfully managed to recruit six new transfers from Israel and an additional international transfer, Danilo Asprilla, from Colombia.

Asprilla’s contract is set to expire at the end of Jun 30, 2023, however it does come with a renewal offer should he wish to stay with the Israeli national team. Although the team is still working to iron out existing kinks in its gameplay, it’s clear that Beitar has a renewed sense of hope.
