Maccabi Haifa will go up tonight (18:00) for a match against Sektia Nes Ziona with a back link that includes Neta Lavi and Mohamed Abu Fani, and if Ali Mohamed is not fit for the match against PSG next week, the duo will also start in the Champions League.
As you remember, Mahmoud Jaber was injured at the beginning of the season and it is still not clear when he will return to activity, when even in the most optimistic case he is expected to be absent from the entire first round in the group stage of the champions.
Following the load created on the midfield players, Balofa tend to add Goni Naor already in the current window and not wait for January. The captain of Hapoel Jerusalem has already expressed his willingness to join, but the negotiations fell through due to small financial differences between the clubs.
Maccabi Haifa did not give up on Naor, who is considered a potential player, even though he cannot play in the Champions League due to the end of the registration deadline, but he will be able to allow Lavi, Abu Fani and Mohammed to rest in the additional activities.
Last week, Maccabi Haifa submitted an offer for 1.5 million NIS, while Hapoel Jerusalem’s initial demand was 2.5 million NIS and the Greens will try to reach an intermediate amount.
As you remember, the champion added three players last week: Dylan Batubinsika, Abdoulaye Sek and Sof Podgorano. The latter, unfortunately for the Greens, ended the season after being injured in the match against Benfica. At the moment there is no intention to sign another attacking player.
