On the way back: Soon Eran Zehavi is expected to be yellow again. Mitch Goldhaar intends to put his hand deep in his pocket to land the star, who may return the championship to him.
So how much is No. 7 expected to earn? The striker’s salary is set to be the highest in the history of the Premier League – 1.2 million euros per season in a two-year contract, to which will be added bonuses on goals, achievements, immigration to combine houses and a percentage of merchandise.
For comparison, the senior earner at Maccabi Tel Aviv last season was Brandley Kubas with 500,000 euros, so Zahavi will earn significantly more.
In Zehavi’s previous term in Israel, he signed a contract in 2015 in which he earned one million euros per season, so that at the age of 34 and after a term at PSV Eindhoven, he will earn more. The only one who equaled Zehavi’s expected salary at Maccabi Tel Aviv is Jerome La Roe, who came to Arkady Gaydamak’s Betar Jerusalem as a senior player in the French league, earning 1.2 million euros per season.
Despite this, in fact the expected decision to return to Maccabi Tel Aviv, Zehavi will give up a significant amount of money, as Botafogo offered him 4 million euros per season, according to reports in Brazil.
