Israeli Defender Yahav Gurfinkel Targeted by Olympiacos Nicosia

Israeli left-back Yahav Gurfinkel, whose move to AEK Larnaca did not pan out as hoped, is reportedly being pursued by another Cypriot club, Olympiacos Nicosia. According to a report by 24sports, Nicosia is keen to sign the defender who is not in AEK Larnaca's plans. The club aims to bolster its defense before the transfer window in Greece closes.

Olympiacos Nicosia is showing significant interest in Gurfinkel, with the transfer deadline in Greece approaching. The report notes that while the main window closes tomorrow, there are alternative options, including signing free agents until September 30th if Gurfinkel is released, and local loan deals are also possible until the end of the month. Olympiacos Nicosia is closely monitoring the situation and actively pushing to reach an agreement with the player.

Gurfinkel played in both Conference League qualifying matches against Beitar Jerusalem but has since been excluded from his team's squad. Previously, he played for Shanghai Shenhua in China, having joined them after two years with Hapoel Tel Aviv.
