Maccabi Tel Aviv Nears Signing Slovenian Striker Aster Sokler from Serbian Club
Maccabi Tel Aviv is close to finalizing the transfer of Slovenian striker Aster Sokler from Serbian top-tier club Radnicki, according to reports from Serbia on July 10, 2026. After recent negotiation difficulties, only minor details remain to be resolved between the parties. The Israeli cup holders are expected to pay around one million euros for the 26-year-old forward.
Sokler, who made his debut for the Slovenian national team about a month ago, is valued at approximately 1.5 million euros by Transfermarkt. Despite his club Radnicki having a disastrous season, Sokler delivered a strong personal performance, scoring 15 league goals in 29 appearances and playing a key role in helping the team avoid relegation.
His career began in Slovenia before moving to Scottish club Aberdeen in summer 2023 for 350,000 euros. After two seasons in Scotland with 12 goals in 72 matches, he was loaned to Radnicki last summer and then purchased by the Serbian club for 225,000 euros in the winter transfer window. Following his successful season in Serbia, Sokler is now poised to join Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Israeli Premier League.
