Bogdan Palanich (Omari Stein)
Despite qualifying for the group stage of the Champions League last night (Tuesday), Maccabi Haifa is about to say goodbye to one of its anchors, as Bogdan Palanich is expected to move to the United Arab Emirates soon after he already had time to land in preparation for signing. The champion cannot resist the offer made by El Ahly to the Serbian stopper, when she is ready to pay 1.8 million euros for him.
Maccabi Haifa confirmed the words: “Indeed, a request was received to purchase the player from the Shabab Al Ahli team from Dubai. We submitted an offer to the player’s representatives and are simultaneously working on alternatives. The player will not land with the team in Israel.” The actor stayed to accompany his wife, who is nine months pregnant and recently flew to Serbia for the birth.
According to the information received by ONE, it appears that the salary offered to Palanich is almost 3 times higher than Maccabi Haifa’s offer and is 1.5 million euros per season in a three-year contract. In such a situation, the options that come before the Greens as possible replacements are Hatem Abdelhamid from Po’el Beer Sheva or Nenad Savatkovich from MS Ashdod.
The Serbian’s wife prefers to stay in Israel and he is also tickled by the matter of the Champions League, but Maccabi Haifa understands that it is no longer in her hands, but only in the player’s hands, for whom, as mentioned, they are ready to open their pockets.
As we know, this is not the first time that question marks have been hovering over Planich. For a long time A.A.K. Greek Athens was interested in Belem, but in the end he stayed in Haifa. Recently, the club even conducted negotiations with Palanich about a new contract, but he has not yet signed it.
The brakeman himself spent his entire career in Serbia before arriving at Stiava Bucharest and from there to Haifa, signing with the ranks in September 2020. The Serbian won two consecutive championships with the Greens as well as the Champion of Champions and the Toto Cup.
