Maccabi Netanya Eyes Striker Guy Melamed Amid Transfer Speculation
Maccabi Netanya is reportedly interested in re-signing striker Guy Melamed from fellow Israeli Premier League club Maccabi Haifa. Melamed, who previously played for Netanya and starred for Hapoel Haifa under coach Roni Levy, is currently third in Haifa's forward hierarchy behind Andrija Novakovich and Liel Abada. Despite Netanya's satisfaction with current forwards Matias Dabo and Dor Hugi, the club believes additional attacking depth is necessary for a long season.
In parallel, Netanya is negotiating with Portuguese club Santa Clara for defender Sydney Lima, who has reportedly agreed to personal terms. It remains unclear if Lima's potential arrival would impact Bakary Koné's status with the team.
Meanwhile, right-back Alon Azugi, acquired this summer from Bnei Sakhnin, is nearing a return to action after recovering from a shoulder injury. He has resumed training and may be included in the squad for the upcoming match against Hapoel Haifa.
