Maccabi Haifa Pursues Brazilian Striker Micael Amid Competitive Transfer Race
Maccabi Haifa is actively pursuing Brazilian striker Micael as part of their transfer strategy for the 2026/27 season. Micael, 27, currently plays for CRB in Brazil's second division and is considered one of the hottest talents in Brazilian football. Last season, he scored 20 goals in 28 appearances across all competitions, including 14 goals in the second division league.
CRB has set a transfer price of 2 million euros for Micael. So far, no club has met this valuation, with previous offers around 1.3 million euros being rejected. Several Brazilian clubs, including Sao Paulo, Gremio, Red Bull Bragantino, and Vitoria, have shown interest, alongside other teams from Brazil's top and second divisions. Maccabi Haifa is among the international clubs monitoring the striker's situation.
The club continues to evaluate the market as the new season approaches, aiming to strengthen their squad with Micael if the financial terms can be agreed upon. The transfer negotiations remain ongoing, with Maccabi Haifa competing against multiple teams for the forward's signature.
