Noble Omar was Betar Jerusalem’s target in the current transfer window. The professional team wanted him, the owner appreciated him and was willing to do much to land him, but the contact chose Maccabi Haifa, which he is expected to sign soon.
At the same time, behind the scenes, a real drama has taken place in recent days, which included Moshe Hogg’s extraordinary attempts to persuade the connection to return to Betar Jerusalem, tempting offers (higher salary than Haifa offered and full pay in advance for two years) and Sheikh Ben’s involvement a suit.
So why is noble yet not convinced? If you ask officials in Betar Jerusalem, mainly because of the Football Association and the difficulties in the committee, as well as their claim because of the “La Familia” organization, whose members sent abusive messages calling on Noble Omar not to come to Betar Jerusalem, for reasons we will detail below. The sports channel reveals the drama that took place last week in Betar Jerusalem.
Increased offer, salary paid two years in advance, nightly meeting with noble parents
On Thursday, almost a week ago, Moshe Hogg met with Omar Atzili and offered him to join Betar Jerusalem. The owner tried to convince the connection, among other things, that he made it clear that for him Atzili will be the leader of the team in the coming years. That if Noble chooses to join Maccabi Haifa, the championship in the media will be more recorded on Nikita Rokavica and Charon Sheri, than on him.
First, Hogg offered Noble the same contract that Maccabi Haifa offered for three and a half years. At the same time, the owners of Betar Jerusalem held a two-hour meeting in an attempt to convince the nobleman and his agent that the heart of the relationship belongs to Betar Jerusalem, in which he experienced the significant flowering of his career. On the other hand, in Haifa they were aware of the efforts on the part of Betar, and held their talks with a nobleman, in which his terms were agreed.
On Saturday night, Noble called Moshe Hogg and informed him that he had decided to sign with Maccabi Haifa. After that phone call, Celebrate did not give up, talked to Ronen Katsav and submitted to Noble a new offer at a salary 25 percent higher than what Maccabi Haifa offered him, and for a period of four and a half years, longer than what Maccabi Haifa offered.
During those talks, Celebrate even provided an extraordinary salary outline, one not seen in Israeli football. Sheikh Ben Khalifa proposed an idea, which the owners of Betar Jerusalem presented to Noble. To pay Noble’s salary in the first two years, if he signs.
Yes, the nobleman was offered to receive all his salary for the next two years, even before he stepped on the grass in Beit Vagan, all in an attempt to persuade him to join and also to show him the economic affluence of Betar Jerusalem. The person who was involved in that offer was Sheikh Hamed Ben Khalifa and his son, Muhammad bin Khalifa, who checked on Noble and very much wanted him to join Betar Jerusalem.
Betar claims: “La Familia sent messages to the nobles not to come to Betar”
So why despite the noble giant’s offer did not join the group from the capital? First, because the sheikh had not been approved by the Committee for the Transfer of Rights and was unwilling to pay the nobles a salary of two years in advance. Ben Khalifa demanded that if he did not go through the Committee for the Transfer of Rights, Celebrate would sign a document according to which he would return to him the amount to be paid to the nobles in advance.
Betar Jerusalem explained to Sheikh that he was expected to join the committee, but he was afraid, and as soon as he made it clear that as long as he did not pass the committee he would not transfer the salary two years in advance, Betar realized that the chances of them joining Azili were zero.
At the same time, the issue of the transfer of rights committee was not the only problem in the negotiations. Sources in Betar Jerusalem claim to the sports channel that fans of the “La Familia” organization sent messages to the nobles not to come to Betar Jerusalem. The reason they called on one of the favorite players by the crowd not to join is the expected “war” between the organization and the club around the arrival of the Sheikh, so they asked the nobles not to put themselves in the same storm.
According to Betar, these allegations greatly deterred the nobleman who after the past period sought mainly professional and economic peace, which would allow him to deal only with football. In terms of connection, Maccabi Haifa provided him with the peace he sought.
Betar Jerusalem is convinced beyond any doubt that if the Sheikh had passed the committee, Omar Atzili would have signed with Betar Jerusalem. For them, the fallen negotiations indicate that the association is seriously harming Betar Jerusalem when it does not approve the deal and causes damage to a team that cannot add players to the window.
The second message that Betar Jerusalem learned for them is about the members of the “La Familia” organization. The team once again felt that the same organization that tried to torpedo the arrival of a significant player to Betar Jerusalem, does not really want the club’s good, but harms it. The third message for Betar Jerusalem is another example of the lack of romance in sports. Omar Atzili, who even when he was at Maccabi Tel Aviv declared his sympathy for Betar Jerusalem, preferred not to return to the team, which gave further expression to the fact that in the end, there is no Such a thing is a “symbol” in Israeli football. Betar Jerusalem has already moved forward thinking that it is a privilege to play in such a luxury club, and not mandatory, so they only want to add players who are interested in signing with them.
In any case, the negotiations with Noble gave another glimpse into the storm that has been raging in Betar Jerusalem in recent days, a storm that prevents it from getting stronger, and includes the Committee for the Transfer of Rights, Celebrates, Ben Khalifa and La Familia. A storm from which the main casualty at the moment is Betar Jerusalem itself.
Response of La Familia: “It was not and was not created. Moshe Moshe celebrates how players flee and are not interested in reaching Betar Jerusalem, and will first turn the allegations to himself. Players are not stupid and do not want to get into a sick bed with all the troubles that are currently around. “Noble and every player in the country knows that as soon as the crowd returns to the pitches, the Betar Jerusalem crowd is a very big factor in the stands and no player will want to come when there is a mess between the crowd and the club. In another situation, noble .
The Football Association chose not to comment.
