Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Be'er Sheva Target Hungarian Defender Levante Katona
Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Be'er Sheva are actively pursuing Hungarian defender Levante Katona ahead of the 2026/27 season. Katona, 24, currently plays for Hungarian first division club Nyíregyháza, and his agent confirmed in an interview that the player is attracting interest not only from Israel but also from leagues in Poland, Russia, and South Korea. In Israel, the reigning league champions Maccabi Tel Aviv and cup holders Hapoel Be'er Sheva are the two clubs monitoring his situation closely.
According to Transfermarkt, Katona's market value is approximately 400,000 euros as of May 2026, a figure considered affordable for Israeli teams. Last season, he made 29 appearances for Nyíregyháza, scoring one goal and providing one assist. Both Israeli clubs are expected to continue negotiations during the summer transfer window as they strengthen their squads for the upcoming season.
