Lamak Benda, who left Maccabi Petah Tikva four years ago to join Italian Serie A club Lecce, may soon be on the move again after a recent dispute with Lecce. The player reportedly refused to attend the team’s training camp, causing tensions that could lead to his departure. Lecce, with less than a year remaining on Benda’s contract, has set a transfer price of 5 to 6 million euros to avoid losing him for free in January.
Maccabi Petah Tikva stands to benefit financially from this potential transfer, as they retained 15% of any future sale when they sold Benda to Lecce. If the transfer fee reaches 6 million euros, Petah Tikva could earn approximately 630,000 euros, representing 15% of the profit margin between the original and new sale prices, plus an additional 30,000 euros in development fees. Similarly, Maccabi Netanya is also expected to receive a comparable sum in development fees if the transfer goes through.
This development highlights the financial strategies Israeli clubs employ when transferring players abroad, ensuring continued revenue from future sales. The situation remains fluid as Lecce seeks to finalize Benda’s transfer amid the ongoing dispute.
