Also wanted in Spain. The Sport Channel learned this evening (Sunday) that Valencia approached PSV Eindhoven with the aim of entering into negotiations for the purchase of Israeli midfielder Tai Abed.
Eindhoven informed Valencia that the slave was not for sale. The Spanish team is not the first to be interested in Abed, who was one of the most impressive players in Israel’s youth team that reached the U19 Euro final.
As I recall, Vitsa Arnheim also looked into the possibility of adding the Israeli, but was answered in the negative. Abed closed one season in Holland, and Eindhoven exercised the option on the midfielder for two more years. After one season in the youth team, next season he is expected to be integrated into the reserve team playing in the second division in the Netherlands.
The last season was very disappointing for Valencia. “The Bats” finished the last season in 9th place in the Spanish league and without a ticket to the European frame. Still, it is one of the most prestigious clubs in the Iberian Peninsula, with 6 championships, a UEFA Cup win and 8 local cups under its belt.
Abed himself holds a Spanish passport and is not considered a foreigner in leagues under the European Union – which gives him an advantage in moving between teams across the continent.
