Maccabi Tel Aviv Pursues Foreign Winger, Domestic Striker and Defender
Maccabi Tel Aviv, enjoying a strong start to the Premier League season, 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 with an Israeli club at this time, and Maccabi is working to persuade him.
In addition to the winger, Maccabi Tel Aviv aims to sign an Israeli striker, prioritizing Alon Turgeman. If Turgeman is not secured, the club will explore other options. The team is also considering adding another Israeli defender, as no replacement has been found for the departed Heitor.
Meanwhile, Maccabi Tel Aviv is preparing for the upcoming derby against Hapoel. Coach Keni Valverde is expected to field the same lineup that secured a 4-1 victory over Hapoel Be'er Sheva. James Tavernier will play in defense, while Gabi Kaniukovsky, Dor Peretz, and Iissouf Sissoko will form the midfield. Ester Sukler is set to lead the attack.
