Maccabi Tel Aviv Considers Foreign Signing as Andrade Remains Stuck in Venezuela

Maccabi Tel Aviv began their training camp in Serbia on Tuesday amid intense heat and possible rain. The club faces uncertainty as midfielder Kerwin Andrade remains stuck in Venezuela due to the ongoing humanitarian crisis, preventing him from joining the team. Given Andrade's expected suspension from the Israeli Premier League following his involvement in post-cup final events, Maccabi Tel Aviv is exploring the option of signing a foreign player to replace him if they cannot secure an Israeli attacking midfielder.

Meanwhile, striker Heitor, who did not travel to the camp, is expected to transfer soon, likely signing with Hungarian club Újpest. This move was first reported by Sport Channel. The club is also planning to sign a foreign defender and forward initially, while searching for 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 conducted personal talks with some players on the training field, with full squad meetings scheduled later. The team is actively managing its roster ahead of the upcoming Israeli Premier League season.
