Romanian Media Claims Maccabi Tel Aviv Offered $1 Million to Ianis Hagi

Romanian media reports suggest that Maccabi Tel Aviv made a significant offer to sign Romanian national team midfielder Ianis Hagi, reportedly around $1 million. Hagi, currently playing for Alanyaspor, was reportedly close to a transfer before the end of the transfer window. However, he ultimately rejected the move to Israel.

According to reports from "Fanatik" and "Digisport," Hagi's decision was influenced by a message from French club Marseille. The French side allegedly plans to pursue him in the January transfer window, and Hagi has reportedly agreed to a move to the French league, which is described as potentially the biggest transfer of his career.

The Romanian press is known for sometimes exaggerated reporting, but the current reports indicate that Marseille has already contacted Hagi, and the player has given his consent to the transfer. The deal could be finalized during the winter transfer window.

Hagi has previous experience playing in Europe for clubs such as Fiorentina in Italy, Alaves in Spain, and Rangers in Scotland. He has earned 54 caps for the Romanian national team, scoring 8 goals.
