Maccabi Tel Aviv Resumes Contract Talks With Star Center Roman Sorkin
Maccabi Tel Aviv has reopened contract negotiations with its star center, Roman Sorkin, aiming to upgrade his salary. Sorkin is currently under contract with the club until 2029, but no formal offer has been made yet. Club management has emphasized Sorkin's significant value and importance to the team during recent meetings.
The team's objective is to finalize the contract details before the league's opening. Negotiations had stalled for an entire summer before resuming approximately three weeks ago. Sorkin previously found an initial offer of around $1.3 million per season to be irrelevant and communicated this to the club. Maccabi subsequently increased their offer to approximately $1.5 million per season, to which Sorkin has not yet responded.
Following a loss to Latvia in the FIBA World Cup qualifiers in late August, Sorkin stated to Sport Channel that contract extension talks were not currently relevant, citing a lack of communication and an irrelevant initial offer. He assured fans that he would remain with Maccabi for the remaining three years of his contract, indicating he had learned a lesson.
