Maccabi Haifa Offers Yarin Levi Contract Upgrade and Release Clause Delay

Maccabi Haifa representatives recently met with the agents of midfielder Yarin Levi to discuss opening and upgrading his contract. Levi, who signed a new deal just last season after his previous contract expired, has had another strong season at Beitar Jerusalem before returning to Haifa. The club proposed a significant salary and terms improvement while delaying the activation of his release clause until summer 2027. Currently, Levi's contract includes a 2.5 million euro release clause for transfers abroad, which Haifa fears could lead to a late departure and the need to find a replacement.

Levi is considered a key signing for Haifa alongside players like Broninho and Yair Mordechai. Sources close to the negotiations described the recent meeting as very positive, with further talks planned to finalize the agreement and conclude the ongoing contract saga. Levi remains a target for clubs in the United States and various European leagues, so both sides aim to secure his stay at Maccabi Haifa this season unless an irresistible offer arrives that the club cannot refuse.
