According to a previous report from Israel Hayom, AEK's increased offer was 3.5 million euros, but the insistence of Hapoel to keep the player for the European matches changed the situation.

Evangelos Michos stated that he does not consider the Kings Kangwa case for AEK to be concluded. According to Michos, it is logical for AEK to be interested in a player with Kings Kangwa's characteristics, particularly before the Champions League play-off matches. Michos noted that a transfer to AEK is not necessarily precluded even if Kings Kangwa plays for Hapoel Be'er Sheva. Michos indicated the transfer could still happen, emphasizing that he does not believe AEK's interest has ended. He revealed that Kings Kangwa has been on Javier Ribalta's transfer list since last season and is also appreciated by Marko Nikolic for shaping AEK's new roster. Michos explained that AEK's official stance of withdrawing from the matter was intended to exert pressure to accelerate the process and secure Kings Kangwa earlier, so he could be registered for European matches.

AEK is in negotiations with Hapoel Be'er Sheva for the acquisition of Kings Kangwa. In Israel, the midfielder's transfer to AEK is being described as inevitable, and there are significant reactions and strong criticism directed at Hapoel Be'er Sheva concerning their management of the transfer. According to journalist Matan Alashvili of the Israeli website Sport1, the transfer of Kings Kangwa from Hapoel Be'er Sheva is inevitable, with Alashvili noting AEK's large budget and regular participation in European competitions. Alashvili reports that Hapoel Be'er Sheva's asking price for Kings Kangwa was 4 million euros. The journalist also states that despite Hapoel Be'er Sheva's attempts to increase his low salary of 330,000 euros per season, AEK was willing to pay a very high amount. Alashvili expresses surprise at the low price for a player considered the best foreign player in the Israeli Premier League and player of the season, who led his team to the championship. He assumes factors influencing the price include Kangwa's dissatisfaction with his salary, attractive offers from other teams, and his desire to play in Europe. Alashvili states that even with these factors, the Zambian midfielder should not be valued at less than 7 million euros and says the price allows Kangwa to press for an agreement. There is discontent regarding the amount for which Hapoel Be'er Sheva is expected to release him.

AEK's main target to strengthen their midfield is Kings Kangwa, and negotiations with Hapoel Be'er Sheva are in progress. Hapoel Be'er Sheva is reluctant to sell one of their key players, particularly as their European fixtures are beginning. The deal is reportedly progressing at a value over 3 million euros, and reports from Israel state Hapoel's demands are between 3.5 and 4 million euros. A portion of the funds could come from the advance AEK received from Monterrey for the transfer of Orbelín Pineda. Kangwa's contract is estimated to be approximately 50% lower than that of Pineda. According to Giorgos Tsakiris, the potential absence of Kangwa from two matches will not cause AEK to abandon the deal. Per UEFA regulations, if Kangwa plays for Hapoel Be'er Sheva in Champions League qualifiers, he cannot play for AEK in the same phase and playoffs, but could play from the league phase onwards.

AEK has shown interest in signing Kings Kangwa, a central midfielder currently playing for Hapoel Be'er Sheva, in the upcoming summer transfer window. Kangwa has delivered an impressive performance in Israel, achieving 14 goals and 8 assists over more than 3,300 minutes on the field. His contract with Hapoel Be'er Sheva is valid until the summer of 2028, which means any club wishing to sign him would need to adhere to Hapoel's conditions, set at a minimum of 4 million euros. AEK is viewed as a strong contender for Kangwa, largely due to their successful track record of transfers from Israel. Nevertheless, if Hapoel Be'er Sheva secures the championship and qualifies for the Champions League qualifiers, they are expected to retain him until then.
