Maccabi Netanya Considers Re-Signing Riberto Tavares
Israeli Premier League club Maccabi Netanya is reportedly considering a move to bring back former player Riberto Tavares. Tavares, a winger from Cape Verde, was sold last summer to Universitatea Craiova but has struggled to integrate professionally and socially. He has reportedly expressed a desire to return to Israel and to Netanya, where he played for two seasons.
Maccabi Netanya, who recently drew a disappointing home match against Hapoel Haifa, may offer a loan deal with an option to buy for Tavares. Last season, he was a key player for Netanya, scoring six goals and providing ten assists.
The club is actively seeking reinforcements, with fans believing that two or three more players are needed to achieve the goal of reaching the upper playoff bracket. This pursuit of new talent comes amidst ambitious statements from owner Roman Kazantsev about "devouring the league."
In addition to the potential return of Tavares, Netanya is awaiting a response from Independiente Santa Fe regarding Colombian player Johan Torres. The club is also still searching for an additional center-back and winger.
