Hapoel Be'er Sheva Signs Yonas Malede at a Loss from Maccabi Tel Aviv
Hapoel Be'er Sheva announced the surprising signing of Israeli forward Yonas Malede from Maccabi Tel Aviv on August 16, 2026. The 26-year-old striker, who had limited playing time at Maccabi Tel Aviv, will join the southern club for a transfer fee of 100,000 euros. This marks a significant loss for Maccabi Tel Aviv, who had acquired Malede from Belgian club Mechelen for 350,000 euros in January 2024.
Since joining Maccabi Tel Aviv, Malede appeared in only 24 matches, scoring two goals and accumulating roughly 400 minutes on the pitch. His limited impact and playing time prompted the transfer to Hapoel Be'er Sheva, who hope to utilize his potential more effectively. The deal reflects a notable financial loss for Maccabi Tel Aviv but offers Malede a fresh opportunity to revitalize his career in the Israeli Premier League.
