Barak Abramov (Shahar Gross)
Following ONE’s revelation that Abramov is negotiating the acquisition of Betar Jerusalem, ONE has learned that Bnei Yehuda’s owners are in advanced negotiations for the sale of the club from the Hatikva neighborhood. Abramov’s arrival at Betar depends on him being able to sell Bnei Yehuda immediately.
Bnei Yehuda says that there is probably a buyer who will take the group from Abramov, and things will develop in the coming days. At the same time, as part of the attempt to save Betar, Adv. Yitzhak Junger, Betar’s trustee on behalf of Moshe Hogg, asked the Jerusalem municipality to help the group with advance payments to the group several years ahead / loan, in the amount of NIS 10 million.
Betar says that the municipality wants to help the group, and is now legally examining how this can be implemented. The group has about NIS 27 million in debts that whoever buys will have to take them on. Even in Abramov’s moves.
As published in ours, the transfer of management rights in football teams of the Football Association does not prevent Abramov from taking Betar Jerusalem if he sells Bnei Yehuda, because Betar and Bnei Yehuda are not in the same league. Also, during the two registration periods that preceded the filing of the application (if submitted to the Rights Transfer Committee, JL), no more than two players from the other team were transferred to the requesting team.
