Maccabi Tel Aviv maps out transfer plans after keeping Dor Peretz

Maccabi Tel Aviv has begun preparations in earnest for the 2026/27 season, with the club treating Dor Peretz’s decision to stay as a statement of intent. The atmosphere inside the club is backed by Jack Angelidis’ promise at the kit launch, where he said that he, Mitz’ Goldhar and Steven Van Heran are building a stronger team that will compete for every title.

The reigning cup holders are expected to seek reinforcements at centre-back and up front with foreign signings. One reason is Yon Nikolsko’s injury, which is still not healing at the desired pace, and he is not expected to be fit until November. That could force Maccabi to freeze the striker until at least January.

The club is also looking at the wing positions. Amir Sahiti, who was one of the team’s key players in the second half of last season, has not yet arrived in Israel, so the club must rethink its plans. Meanwhile, Kervin Andrade, who is likely to be handed an eight-match suspension because of the Israeli Cup final incidents, is expected to go directly to the training camp in Rishon LeZion.

In addition, Ali Mohamed Kamara has already landed in Israel and joined Tyrese Asante and Christian Blitz. The report was published on June 26, 2026, at 06:55, and concerns Maccabi Tel Aviv’s efforts in the Premier League.
