Hapoel Tel Aviv Owner Denounces Agent's Claims Over Yam Madar Contract Dispute
Mishko Razentovich, a prominent basketball agent in Europe and Israel, revealed in an interview that Maccabi Tel Aviv approached player Yam Madar while he was still under contract with Hapoel Tel Aviv. This interview aired on Sport 5's main sports news program on August 10, 2026. In response, Hapoel Tel Aviv owner Ofer Yanai addressed the situation extensively, stating that Madar refused a $3 million contract offer from Hapoel in favor of a $2 million deal with Maccabi, despite initially having a $1.92 million contract with Hapoel. Yanai criticized the narrative of Madar being wronged, suggesting it is a way to cover up improper behavior that might warrant legal action. He questioned the timing of Maccabi's approach to Madar, emphasizing it occurred before the contract was canceled. Yanai's remarks highlight tensions between the clubs and the player amid the contract dispute in the Israeli Basketball Premier League.
