Maccabi Haifa Denies Discussions on Yarin Levi's Future Amid Transfer Interest
Maccabi Haifa is reportedly attempting to downplay interest from rival clubs in midfielder Yarin Levi. Recent reports indicate that both Beitar Jerusalem and reigning champions Hapoel Be'er Sheva are interested in acquiring the young talent. Beitar Jerusalem's coach, Almog Cohen, publicly expressed a desire to see Levi return to his former club, but also stated that Maccabi Haifa is currently unwilling to engage in transfer talks.
A source within Maccabi Haifa told Sport Channel that "there is no discussion about Yarin Levi's future." The source described Levi as a "valued homegrown player" and emphasized the club's efforts to have him wear their green jersey this season. The player himself is reportedly focused on his success with Maccabi Haifa.
In separate team news, Maccabi Haifa's professional director, Lior Raphaëlov, and coach, Barak Bakhar, are looking to strengthen the squad with additional Israeli players, particularly in midfield and defense. The club's decision to sign four foreign defenders has limited the number of available foreign player slots in the midfield.
