Maccabi Haifa has signed defender Eli Dasa to a two-year contract, with his salary estimated at $350,000 to $400,000 net per season. The deal was facilitated by close friend and teammate Lior Refaelov, who initiated contact with Dasa and discussed the move during the recent international break. Maccabi Haifa captain Omri Glazer, who shares a room with Dasa on the Israeli national team, also played a role in the discussions.
Dasa's primary condition during negotiations was securing a two-year contract, rather than a deal solely until the end of the current season. For Maccabi Haifa, the acquisition of Dasa fills a position previously held by a foreign player and adds an experienced Israeli talent. He is expected to integrate into the team alongside Yella Batai this season.
Beyond his professional capabilities, Maccabi Haifa emphasized Dasa's leadership qualities. Refaelov, Glazer, and other national team players like Eitan Azulai and Yarin Levi highlighted Dasa's significant role and leadership within the national team's locker room in recent years. This leadership was a key consideration for both Refaelov and coach Barak Bakhar, as the club sought not only a proven, experienced fullback but also a player who could bring authority and leadership to the team's environment.
