Maccabi Netanya Nears Signing Dolev Haziza as Club Reconsiders Ze Marcos Deal

Maccabi Netanya is actively preparing for the 2026/27 season by building its squad and finalizing key transfers ahead of training camp. A primary target for the club is midfielder Dolev Haziza, who has expressed strong determination to prove himself after speaking with head coach Roni Levy. The conversation reportedly reinforced the club's desire to complete the signing, with only minor financial differences remaining between the parties. Haziza has been presented with two payment options: receiving part of his salary from Maccabi Haifa during the first contract year or obtaining a financial compensation from Haifa before moving to Netanya. His agents continue negotiations to reach a final agreement in the coming days.

Meanwhile, Netanya is reconsidering the acquisition of Brazilian defender Ze Marcos. Although preliminary terms were agreed upon, the club recently paused to evaluate whether to finalize the deal or seek a defender with a stronger track record. The club hopes to make significant progress on transfers soon, aiming to boost fan enthusiasm and season ticket sales, which have been a concern. Additional signings are expected to increase excitement ahead of the season opener and the first training session scheduled for next week.
