Andrade Leaves Maccabi Tel Aviv for Brazilian Club Recife
Venezuelan international forward "Kervin" Andrade has departed Maccabi Tel Aviv after a disappointing year in Israel, returning to Brazil to join Recife. The move comes after Andrade, 21, opted to forgo money owed to him by Maccabi Tel Aviv and accept a lower salary at his new club. Recife, currently tenth in the Brazilian second division, has secured an option to purchase Andrade for 2 million euros, which would grant them 60% of his player rights.
Andrade joined Maccabi Tel Aviv from Brazil just last year for 1.8 million euros but failed to impress, scoring only three goals and providing one assist in 28 league appearances. This season, he had minimal playing time, featuring for only six minutes as a substitute in a European match against CSKA Sofia.
Maccabi Tel Aviv had informed Andrade that a loan move would be beneficial for his development and playing time. Despite receiving offers from European clubs, Andrade preferred a return to Brazil, where he previously played for Fortaleza. His agents had initially sought a move back to his home country when he first joined Maccabi Tel Aviv.
