Tamir Blatt Joins Hapoel Tel Aviv, Expected to Be Loaned Out Next Season
After a lengthy negotiation, Tamir Blatt has officially signed a three-year contract with Hapoel Tel Aviv, as confirmed on July 30, 2026. Despite the agreement, Blatt is expected to be loaned to another team for the upcoming season. The contract guarantees him $1.6 million annually, comprising $1.1 million in salary and $500,000 in shares.
Blatt had reached terms with Hapoel Tel Aviv several weeks earlier, but internal disagreements within the club regarding his role delayed the finalization of the deal. Eventually, the club resolved these issues, leading to his signing. Blatt previously played for Hapoel Tel Aviv earlier in his career and spent the last three seasons with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
In the most recent season, Blatt averaged 7.1 points and 5.2 assists in 19.5 minutes per game in the EuroLeague. The club’s plan involves integrating him into their roster long-term while allowing him to gain playing time elsewhere initially.
