Maccabi Tel Aviv Pursues Transfers, Prepares for Derby
Maccabi Tel Aviv, having started the Israeli Premier League season strongly, is actively seeking reinforcements before the transfer window closes on Wednesday. The club's primary target is a foreign winger, with Morgane Bakouly being the preferred choice. Significant efforts are underway to finalize negotiations for Bakouly, though the player has expressed reluctance to sign in Israel at this time, and the club is working to persuade him.
In addition to the winger, Maccabi Tel Aviv aims to sign an Israeli striker, prioritizing Alon Turgeman. If Turgeman cannot be secured, the team will explore other options. The club is also considering the addition of another Israeli center-back, as no replacement has been found for the departed Heitor.
Concurrently, Maccabi Tel Aviv is preparing for the significant Tel Aviv derby against Hapoel. Coach Keni Mubil believes in the lineup that achieved a 4-1 victory over Hapoel Be'er Sheva and is expected to field a similar formation. James Tavernier will play in defense, while Gabi Kanyukovsky will continue in midfield alongside Dor Peretz and Iissoufou. Ester Sukler is set to lead the attack.
