Red Star Belgrade Demands Fee to Release Israeli Goalkeeper Omri Glazer to Maccabi Haifa

Maccabi Haifa is facing complications in securing the transfer of Israeli goalkeeper Omri Glazer from Red Star Belgrade. According to reports from Serbia, Red Star refuses to release Glazer without compensation, demanding a transfer fee despite the goalkeeper having one year left on his contract. Although Glazer reportedly wishes to leave, the Serbian club insists on payment and is unwilling to consider a free transfer. Initially, Red Star sought around 1.5 million euros for Glazer, but with only six months remaining on his contract, they may have to accept a lower fee, likely under one million euros. Glazer’s current market value on Transfermarkt remains at approximately 1.5 million euros.

This transfer dispute also impacts Maccabi Haifa’s plans regarding another player, Georgi Yermakov, whose departure might be delayed if the club does not resolve the Glazer situation. The ongoing negotiations highlight the challenges Maccabi Haifa faces in resolving its goalkeeper roster ahead of the new season.
