Maccabi Tel Aviv captain Dor Peretz has finished his evaluation visit with Dinamo Zagreb and is expected to make a decision on his future by early next week. He flew to Croatia on Thursday morning with his wife and agent Avi Naimi to inspect Dinamo’s offer up close.
According to a report by Walla Sport, Peretz also made a separate trip in recent days to another destination that has already presented him with an offer for next season. He examined that option as well before deciding where he wants to play in the coming campaign.
People close to Peretz said Friday that the choice is not simple and involves many considerations, which is why he asked for a little more time before settling on his next move. He remains in Croatia for now, still reviewing the various proposals.
Alongside the European offers, Maccabi Tel Aviv has also submitted a proposal that is expected to improve on Friday. Still, Peretz is understood to have made peace with the possibility of leaving Israel. The offers from Europe appeal to him, and he is not afraid to take the same step he took five years ago, when he signed with Venezia.
The Dinamo contract on the table is for two years and worth 750,000 euros net. With Croatia’s top income tax rate at 33 percent in those salary brackets, the package is described as relatively attractive and closer to Israeli terms than some alternatives he received from Cyprus and Hungary.
