Along with the race for Maccabi Haifa, the Yellows are also building the ground for the future and hope to keep Dor Peretz, who this season has become one of the leading players in the team, if not the most senior of them. “It will be difficult to keep him, we are making great efforts,” said Maccabi Tel Aviv. However, it is estimated that despite an offer for a good and long contract, Peretz will prefer to try his luck in a more senior league. However, Maccabi Tel Aviv is confident that Daniel Tennenbaum will sign A new contract and hope that Enrique Seborit will also agree to continue.
