Hapoel Tel Aviv is looking for a striker. The club understands that the deal with Alan Ozbolt is currently not progressing anywhere and does not want to waste any more time. Medicine is currently examining options for other foreign pioneers, hoping that the explosion of the deal with the Slovenian may actually lead to a positive turnaround.
Ozbolt was supposed to reach the standard striker standard, even though he is basically a winger, and now the club is concentrating on finding a natural 9th striker. At the same time, if the saga of commissions with the foreign agent of ex Hapoel Haifa is resolved, the parties will return to the negotiating table, but at the moment it does not seem that either party is interested in giving up and getting off the tree.
At least three more staff positions remain for medicine. Along with the search for a striker, the search for a foreign brake and a left defender continues, and that the leading candidate at the moment is, as mentioned, Aviv Solomon, because Hapoel officials believe that Maxim Grechkin is already closed at Hapoel Beer Sheva. As for El Yam Kanzapolski, the parties met last week to discuss further his path. At the meeting, it was decided that a final answer regarding the future of the relationship will be returned by Monday (tomorrow), through his agent Ronen Katsav, and Hapoel Tel Aviv believes and hopes that the direction is positive.
At the same time, Doron Leidner is gaining interest from a number of different groups. There is currently a debate as to whether it would be right for him to join a team in the senior league, such as the Italian league, where he will not necessarily play in the squad, or a second tier league, such as the Austrian league, where he is more likely to be a regular player. .
Among the teams expressing interest in the defender is also Bologna who last night announced the sale of their left-back defender, Aron Hickey, a native of the same year as Leidner (2002), to Brentford from the Premier League in a deal valued at around £ 18 million. Leidner is not the first candidate for Bologna, and on the other hand the Italian team is not his only option in Serie A.
Be that as it may, the process of releasing the left-back from the army has begun and Hapoel Tel Aviv are aware that they will have to do without him in the coming season. Preparations for the start of the season with the team.
