After a period of quiet in the Muhammad Canaan sector, Maccabi Tel Aviv and the Ashdod Sports Club resumed talks about a possible transfer of the connection to Kiryat Shalom. Owner Jackie Ben Zaken asked for one and a half million euros for the connection plus two players: Bar Cohen and Ido Shachar. Shimon also holds Osama Khalaila, but the amounts that the yellow striker earns do not match the amounts that Ben Zaken used to pay, and the desire to maintain more or less similar salary amounts in the staff currently precludes the possibility of progress in this sector.
The reason for the resumption of talks is probably related to the fact that Ivic currently has seven foreign players on the squad, and even if he replaces two or three of them, he still wants another Israeli reinforcement after Avi Rikan’s signing last night (Monday). Canaan is one of the seniors on the shelf and his team is ready to enter into negotiations. By the way, Rikan is expected to arrive in the Netherlands today and join the camp, with Parfaa Guyagon joining after his visa is arranged.
Currently signed at the club are Andre Geralds, Enrique Saborit, Brandley Cubas, Eduardo Guerrero, Stipa Fritza, Georgia Juvanovic and Parfaa Guigon. Guerrero and Geralds will not continue, Kubas is swaying and breaking into a question mark, but if he leaves it will be for the team abroad and not for the country.
Meanwhile at the camp in Merleau, Zahavi who arrived yesterday (Monday) trained for the first time with the yellow uniform. The striker will wear the captain’s armband if Sharan Yeni does not play 2.7 in another game against Westerlo that has risen this season back to the top Belgian league.
After 10,000 subscriptions were sold yesterday, Maccabi Tel Aviv is convinced that by the start of the season they will reach more than 20,000, while currently only those who had a subscription are allowed to purchase.
