After many years without a degree, Maccabi Haifa waited a long time to reach the January transfer window in a good position to win the championship. In normal seasons it is likely that management would have given a free hand to strengthen the team, but this season the situation is more complex. Maccabi Haifa, like the other Premier League teams, has to keep its budget in order to win the “safety net” from the Ministry of Finance and therefore will not be able to “run wild” in the window.
And even now in order to get stronger, Maccabi Haifa needs to release players. The priority of the professional team is for a noble Omar and a right-back, if the budget allows, another attacking player will join.
The club is waiting for the release of the noble from Epochal Nicosia, which is expected to be received in the coming days. In the foreign shield segment this may be a little more complicated due to the closure, but an assessment will find a solution to this. As for the releases, Ernest Mabuka is currently on target if a defender is added. It is not impossible that the team will loan one of its young players, but this will only happen if he wants to get minutes, as their salary is not significant.
Meanwhile, Barak Bachar gave his players two days off with the end of the first round and the victory against Maccabi Netanya. Tomorrow, the team will begin preparations for Saturday’s meeting against Hapoel Hadera. The club will try to train the Dutchman, Yannick Wildshot, who is having difficulty returning after injuring his back thigh muscle. He has 15 minutes in the last nine rounds and a lone league goal.
