Ironi Tiberias Pursues Daniel Golani as Squad Prepares for Toto Cup and Premier League

Ironi Tiberias continues its preparations for the upcoming Toto Cup and Israeli Premier League season, scheduling a Toto Cup match against Kiryat Shmona this Saturday. The team aims to bounce back after a 3-1 loss to Hapoel Haifa on Tuesday. Recently signed player Gal Ma'atok will not be included in the squad due to unresolved payment of 120,000 shekels in training compensation fees, which the club settled only this morning. Consequently, Maccabi Petah Tikva released his official transfer documents after noon, but Ma'atok remains ineligible for registration despite the club's sporting plans.

Samir Farhoud is still serving a suspension with two games remaining, while Odnzei Bachu is expected to return to the lineup after missing the last match due to calf sensitivity. The club is impressed with two trialists, defender Itamar Guetta from Hapoel Ra'anana and winger Nana from Ivory Coast, both likely to sign soon. Ironi Tiberias will also need to pay compensation fees for Guetta's transfer. The squad is far from complete, with key players Guy Hadida, David Kaltins, Niv Gottlieb, and Sambinia currently suspended from activity. The club seeks reinforcements across nearly all positions.

In a notable development, Ironi Tiberias has approached Daniel Golani, who played for the club last season with 23 appearances. After returning to Maccabi Haifa post-loan, Golani was informed he is not in their plans. He is now considering a return to Tiberias during this transfer window. The club continues to work on finalizing its roster ahead of the new season.
