Maccabi Tel Aviv Considers Foreign Signing Amid Andrade's Absence in Serbia Training Camp

Maccabi Tel Aviv began their training camp in Serbia on Tuesday, facing hot weather and potential rain. The club is evaluating options to sign a foreign player to replace Kevin Andrade, who remains stuck in Venezuela due to the ongoing humanitarian crisis there and cannot join the team. Andrade is also expected to face a significant suspension from the Israeli Premier League following his involvement in incidents after the State Cup final.

If Maccabi Tel Aviv fails to sign an Israeli attacking midfielder, they plan to bring in a foreign player instead, potentially using Andrade's roster spot. Meanwhile, Heitor, who did not travel to the camp, is expected to transfer soon, likely signing with Hungarian club Újpest, as first reported by Sport Channel.

The club is initially looking to sign a foreign defender and striker, while also seeking a foreign winger to replace Amir Saheti. Additionally, they await a final price offer from Kairat regarding Dan Glazer. Sporting director Steven Vanharan and coach Kenny Miller have held individual discussions with some players on the training field, with full squad meetings planned later.
