Hapoel Tel Aviv Pays Massive Salaries to Players Amid Summer Signings

Following a trophy-less season, Hapoel Tel Aviv is heavily investing in its squad this summer by signing new players and renewing contracts for existing ones. So far, the club has committed to paying extremely high salaries, with at least ten players earning over one million dollars per season each. This figure is expected to rise with further signings, including the potential addition of Tamir Blatt.

The highest-paid player is Vasili Mitic, who signed a three-year contract worth six million dollars per season. Recent signings and contract renewals include Zack Laidee, earning three million dollars annually, and Elisha Bryant, with a renewed contract of 2.8 million dollars per year. New contracts with salary increases were also given to Kadyn Carrington, starting at 1.7 million dollars and rising to 1.9 million over the contract term, and Antonio Blakeney, starting at 2.2 million dollars and increasing to 2.4 million.

Other notable salaries include Dan Oturu at 2.5 million, Thomas Stornsky and Ish Weinreit each at 1.5 million, Amir Coffey at 1.2 million, and Tai Odiase at one million dollars per season. Combining all these contracts, Hapoel Tel Aviv’s total wage bill for the upcoming season approaches 23.5 million dollars, with expectations for further increases as new deals are finalized. These salary details were first published by Sport 5 on July 17, 2026.

This significant financial commitment reflects the club’s determination to strengthen its roster and improve performance after last season’s disappointments. The summer transfer window remains open, and more announcements are anticipated.
