Just before the season’s game against Maccabi Tel Aviv, a very interesting announcement comes from the Bulgarian media, where they say that Frentzi Piero, the most expensive acquisition in the history of Maccabi Haifa, was already on the verge of moving to CSKA Sofia from the local league, but then, the greens entered the picture.
According to the “Tema Sport” website, the 27-year-old striker from Haiti was the first candidate on CSKA’s lists to strengthen the front, when all the terms were actually agreed with Pierre on the way to signing the deal, but it fell through at the last minute. The reason? Maccabi Haifa’s intervention .
According to the article, the Israeli champion “tempted” the striker with participation in the Champions League qualifiers, and even offered him a slightly better financial offer than CSKA. Piero proved to the Greens that the investment paid off, with five goals in the Champions League qualifiers, and was a significant factor in advancing to the group stage.
