Maccabi Haifa Reaches Agreement to Renew Yarin Levi's Contract Without Release Clause

Maccabi Haifa is finalizing a new contract with midfielder Yarin Levi, who has returned to the club after two loan seasons at Beitar Jerusalem. The new deal will notably exclude a release clause for both the current and upcoming winter transfer windows. Levi is set to receive a significant salary increase, with the official signing expected after the 9th of Av.

The club, under coach Barak Bachar, is structuring its midfield around Levi as it prepares for the upcoming season. Maccabi Haifa recently added Serbian-American forward Andrea Novakovic and Brazilian defender Tsunami to its squad, which currently includes seven foreign players. Decisions are pending regarding the status of two other foreign players, Pedro and Manuel Benson, who are either uncertain or injured.

Maccabi Haifa will resume training after a rest day and plans to play its final preseason match against Hapoel Kfar Saba on Tuesday. The club continues to build its roster carefully ahead of the new season, with Levi's contract renewal marking a key step in solidifying the team's core.
