Maccabi Tel Aviv Targets New Left-Back, Winger, and Striker
Maccabi Tel Aviv is actively pursuing new signings for the 2026/27 season, aiming to bolster their squad with a left-back, a foreign winger, and a striker. Following the acquisition of Gabi Kaniovsky and the imminent signing of James Tavernier, who is already in Israel, the club is finalizing its plans.
Roy Revivo has departed for Elche in Spain, leaving a vacancy at left-back. The team is considering Yahav Gurfinkel, Shahar Rozen, and Dani Gruper, who is returning from injury, to fill this role. Tavernier's expected arrival will lead to Tyris Asante shifting to center-back, as no other foreign defender was signed to replace Eytor.
In midfield, Gabi Kaniovsky is expected to be available for the upcoming match against Hapoel Be'er Sheva. The club's primary focus is on acquiring a foreign right winger, with Camilo Mena of Lechia Gdańsk reportedly among the candidates. However, a significant hurdle is the need to free up a foreign player spot, as difficulties persist with loaning out Jon Nikolascu to a Romanian club and Parvin Andrade.
Additionally, with the sale of Said Abu Farchi, Maccabi Tel Aviv is determined to sign a prominent Israeli striker. The club has expressed strong interest in Guy Melamed and hopes Maccabi Haifa will agree to release him.
