Maccabi Tel Aviv Retains Kerwin Andrade Amid Loan Offers and Player's Preferences

Kerwin Andrade, the 21-year-old Venezuelan midfielder, remains part of Maccabi Tel Aviv's squad despite not being in the club's future plans. Maccabi Tel Aviv needs to free up foreign player slots to strengthen the team, and Andrade was acquired for 1.8 million euros. The club has expressed a preference for him to go out on loan to gain playing time and develop further. So far, three European clubs have made offers that include assurances of significant playing minutes for Andrade. However, Andrade himself prefers to return to Brazil, where he previously played for Fortaleza. Maccabi Tel Aviv currently believes a move back to Brazil is not the best option for his development, and no agreement has been reached yet between the parties. The situation remains unresolved as the club seeks the optimal path for Andrade's growth and the team's roster management.
