Following a trophy-less previous 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 enormous salaries, with at least ten players earning a minimum of one million dollars per season, even before the potential signing 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 have also brought significant salary increases. Zack Laidee, who joined recently, earns about three million dollars annually, while Elisha Bryant renewed his contract for 2.8 million dollars per season.

New contracts with rising salaries include Caden Carrington, starting at 1.7 million dollars and increasing to 1.9 million over the next two years, and Antonio Blakeney, starting at 2.2 million dollars with planned raises to 2.4 million. Other notable salaries include Dan Oturu at 2.5 million, Thomas Stornesky and Ish Weinreit at 1.5 million each, Amir Kofi at 1.2 million, and Tai Odiassi at one million dollars.

Altogether, the combined salaries for the upcoming season approach an unprecedented 23.5 million dollars, a figure expected to rise with further signings and contract adjustments. These salary details were first published by Sport 5.

Hapoel Tel Aviv’s aggressive financial commitment reflects its determination to strengthen the team and improve results in the coming season.
