Maccabi Tel Aviv Defender Roi Rabibo Joins Spain's Elche
Maccabi Tel Aviv's left-back, Roi Rabibo, has officially signed a four-year contract with Spanish club Elche, marking his transition to European football as a legionnaire. The 23-year-old player's move comes after his final game for Maccabi Tel Aviv, a 3-1 victory over Maccabi Haifa at Bloomfield Stadium.
Under the terms of the agreement, Rabibo will earn a salary of 600,000 euros per season. Maccabi Tel Aviv will receive a transfer fee of 2.8 million euros, along with a 20% sell-on clause for any future transfer. To facilitate the deal, Rabibo's family relinquished their 15% stake in the player's contract.
Elche, currently struggling in 19th place in the league after two losses and a draw, has had a difficult start to the season. They lost 3-2 to Racing Santander, 5-0 to Barcelona, and drew 1-1 with Deportivo La Coruña. The club was promoted to the top division in the 2024/25 season, finishing 15th.
Rabibo, who made 136 appearances for Maccabi Tel Aviv, scoring 12 goals and providing 29 assists, is a decorated player. He won two league championships, two domestic cups, and a Super Cup with the Tel Aviv club.
