Maccabi Tel Aviv Pursues Cameroonian Winger Morgan Bailly Amidst Transfer Hurdles
Maccabi Tel Aviv, enjoying a perfect start to their 2026/27 Israeli Premier League season with three wins, is actively seeking reinforcements. A primary target is Cameroonian winger Morgan Bailly, currently playing for Metz. The club has submitted an offer for Bailly, but significant obstacles remain in negotiations with both the player and his agent. The main challenge is Bailly's current reluctance to move to Israel, prompting Maccabi Tel Aviv to intensify efforts to persuade him.
In parallel, the club is also searching for an Israeli striker and may revisit efforts to sign Alon Turgeman. Ahead of the upcoming derby against Hapoel Tel Aviv, manager Kenny Miller is expected to maintain the current starting lineup. James Tavernier is slated to start at right-back, with Noam Ben Harush at left-back. The midfield is likely to feature Gabi Kanyikovsky, Ibrahima Sissoko, and Dor Peretz.
Maccabi Tel Aviv aims to extend their successful season start by defeating their city rivals and maintaining momentum. The club is also focused on advancing transfer market efforts to finalize desired squad additions.
