After losing Bogdan Palanich, it seems that Maccabi Haifa is getting closer to finding his replacement. According to a report in Romania, the newcomer to the group stage of the Champions League is expected to soon add the Cluj stopper, Andrey Borka, this after transferring to his team an amount estimated at one million dollars.
According to what is said in the report, the negotiations are still in progress, but Borka himself is exerting heavy pressure in order to lead to completion and join the green club from the Carmel. Borka still holds a contract with the team until the summer of 2024 and is considered one of the most wanted players in Cluj, when he received interest from teams in Turkey and Saudi Arabia.
“I don’t want to talk anymore, I really want to leave but right now I’m in Cluj,” he said just a few weeks ago, “If I leave in two or three hours I’ll sign somewhere new. I want to go to another club, I want to see what the level is outside of Romania “.
Borka played throughout his professional career in Romania and he started his career with Bacau, from where he moved to Aerostar. After returning to Bacau, he moved to Botosani, before signing with Cluj in 2019 for €200,000.
Last season in Cluj, he made 36 appearances and two goals and was a significant part of his team’s championship in Romania, a championship they won by no less than 14 points from the team that finished in second place, Steaua Bucharest. In addition, Borca also has 12 appearances in the uniform of the national team of Romania.
