Maccabi Haifa Defender Lisav Issat Set to Leave for Bristol City Amid Transfer Talks
Lisav Issat, the central defender for Maccabi Haifa, is preparing to leave the team's training camp in Hungary to finalize his transfer to Bristol City. The English club is expected to pay 2.5 million euros for Issat, who holds a Romanian passport. Before signing officially, Issat will undergo medical examinations with Bristol City and work on obtaining his work permit.
Several clubs showed interest in Issat, but Bristol City was the most serious contender. Meanwhile, Maccabi Haifa is aware of the need to recruit at least one foreign defender, as the return of Pedro is uncertain. The club is currently negotiating with Huddersfield Town's defender Radinio Balcer, with personal terms agreed and only the transfer fee remaining to be settled.
Additionally, Maccabi Haifa is monitoring the rehabilitation of Elad Amir. Should Amir be sidelined for an extended period, the club plans to sign another defender to strengthen the squad. These moves come as the Israeli Premier League season approaches, with Haifa aiming to maintain a solid defensive lineup.
