Maccabi Tel Aviv is following Dor Peretz’s season in Venice and if the contact decides that he wants to return to Israel, the club will do everything to bring him back to them. In recent weeks, a number of articles have been published in the Italian media regarding Peretz’s future and it has even been claimed that Venice will not stand in his way if he wants to leave after half a season in which he does not play much. The context of the contact has constantly claimed that the announcements are not related to reality and that Peretz continues with the team as usual and intends to complete the first season with his long-term contract at the club.
As you may recall, Peretz signed a contract worth 900,000 euros net per season, an amount he cannot earn in Israel, nor in many of the leagues to which players usually leave Israel. Peretz was in the country last week for a short vacation due to a Christmas that has disrupted most of the leagues in Europe. Sources in his area claimed that while he was here, officials related to Maccabi Tel Aviv tried to find out if he wanted to return in the next window to play regularly until the end of the season.
Other sources related to the player denied this and clarified that Peretz has no intention of returning to Israel at this stage and that even if he leaves Venice in the future, he wants to continue his European career and not return so quickly to the Premier League, which was small last season.
One way or another, Maccabi Tel Aviv, which wants to regain its debut in Israeli football, will be happy to add Peretz, whether it is in the upcoming transfer window or in the future. “Dor Peretz is always welcome at Maccabi Tel Aviv,” a source at the club clarified over the weekend. The player, as stated by the people close to him, intends to give himself another significant amount of time in Europe before deciding to return to the Premier League.
