Hapoel Tel Aviv is close to finalizing a contract extension for their goalkeeper and Israeli national team player, Assaf Tzur. Negotiations are underway for a new three-year deal that includes a significant salary increase, reportedly tens of percent, with a tiered structure. Tzur's current contract expires this summer, and while the club held an option to extend it for another season, his outstanding performance, recognized as the league's best goalkeeper and the top choice for the national team, prompted the offer for a new long-term agreement. The club is highly satisfied with Tzur, not only for his professional abilities but also for his personality and presence in the locker room, viewing him as a key component of their project. He is currently earning 180,000 euros per season. The club is also approaching an all-time record for season ticket sales, with approximately 300 more sales needed to surpass 20,000 for the first time. Around 22,000 fans are expected at the upcoming Saturday match against Ironi Tiberias. Coach Eliniv Barda has invited all eight foreign players to a hotel before the game, with decisions on who will not dress to be made closer to kickoff. Adrian Criev is expected to return to the lineup after an extended absence due to illness, intensifying competition for the remaining foreign player spots, with Emmanuel Boateng potentially being the one left out.
