Maccabi Tel Aviv Rejects Low Offer from Lecce for Defender Tyrese Asante
Maccabi Tel Aviv is working to retain key players amid interest from top European clubs, including Lecce from Italy. Recently, Lecce submitted an offer of approximately 1.5 million euros for Dutch defender Tyrese Asante, which Maccabi promptly rejected. The Israeli club has set a price tag of at least 4 million euros for Asante, making the current offer insufficient and halting negotiations.
Asante, 24, has been a central figure for Maccabi Tel Aviv since joining in the summer of 2024 from ADO Den Haag for 600,000 euros. He has made 91 appearances, scoring 5 goals and providing 4 assists. In a recent Dutch media interview, Asante acknowledged the possibility of a summer transfer but emphasized that any move must be an upgrade from his current situation at Maccabi.
It remains to be seen if Lecce will submit a higher bid that meets Maccabi's valuation. Asante's performances have attracted attention, but the club is firm on its asking price, reflecting his importance to the team and potential future value.
