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 on August 16, 2026. Malede, 26, had been with Maccabi Tel Aviv but saw very limited playing time there. The club paid 100,000 euros to acquire him, a significant loss compared to the 350,000 euros Maccabi Tel Aviv paid to sign him from Belgian club Mechelen in January 2024.
During his tenure at Maccabi Tel Aviv, Malede appeared in only 24 matches, scoring two goals and accumulating roughly 400 minutes on the field. His minimal impact and playing time likely contributed to the reduced transfer fee. Hapoel Be'er Sheva hopes to benefit from the forward's potential despite the financial loss incurred by Maccabi Tel Aviv.
