Maccabi Haifa Sets New Policy for Club Sale Negotiations
Maccabi Haifa Football Club is implementing a new policy regarding potential negotiations for the sale of the club. In contrast to past practices, any future investor interested in acquiring the club will not negotiate directly with current owner Yaakov Shahar, but rather with an external company.
While no negotiations are currently underway, the club is preparing for such a possibility. The option of selling Maccabi Haifa has been on the table to varying degrees for some time. Although a previous potential deal with an American investment group fell through, a similar move involving other investors could still happen in the future.
The club has decided that if interest in a sale arises again, an external firm specializing in complex, high-value transactions will manage the negotiations. This company will conduct due diligence on potential buyers and handle all discussions. The club is reportedly valued at over 100 million euros.
Yaakov Shahar has owned Maccabi Haifa since acquiring it in 1992, a period of 34 years. The club, based in Haifa, is now looking towards its future ownership.
