Maccabi Tel Aviv Registers New Player Despite Ongoing Transfer
Maccabi Tel Aviv successfully registered new player James Tavernier for their recent 4-1 victory over Hapoel Be'er Sheva, even though the transfer of another player, Kervin Andrade, had not yet been finalized. This move raised questions regarding the team's foreign player registration limits.
The explanation for this situation lies in Andrade's agreement to terminate his contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv. This termination, which does not require the full completion of a transfer process, led to him being removed from the team's registered player count with the Football Association. This administrative step cleared a roster spot, allowing Tavernier to be registered.
Andrade was initially expected to transfer to Volos, but those negotiations fell through. He is now reportedly heading back to Brazil, where he is set to be loaned from Maccabi Tel Aviv to second-division club Sport Recife.
