After running the league for two years with two dominant championships, Maccabi Tel Aviv lost its deterrent power in Israel. The Yellows have won only 4 games out of 11 and are 8 points away from the top – where Maccabi Haifa is. Now, the January transfer window is around the corner and the hot name in Kiryat Shalom is that of the ex, Eran Zehavi.
The striker who won three championships with the Yellows and broke records in Israeli football is the tiebreaker that Maccabi Tel Aviv is looking for. Unlike this summer, the conditions for a comeback for the club have matured. The evidence for this is that the move is now more economically relevant, and there is an estimate that Zahavi himself, if he does not continue in the Netherlands, will want to return to the champion.
As you may recall, the striker who came to the Netherlands as the glittering acquisition of Eindhoven is receiving criticism from the local media, having scored three goals in ten games. He has a contract at PSV. For another year and a half at a salary of 1.8 net per season not including bonuses. If the move is implemented, for Maccabi Tel Aviv, it is of course an upgrade that may return it to the championship fight.
And what about the generation of Micah? As previously written, the decision will be made by Mitch Goldhaar. The Micha family and the player himself are flooded with messages from the team’s fans, and professionally there is also a lack of a player in this exact role at Maccabi Tel Aviv. In addition, the team can add foreigners to the squad, so strengthening this sector is also relevant.
