Ferencváros Official Says Gabi Kanikovski Is Key Player, Sale Unlikely Soon

Amid widespread reports that Gabi Kanikovski might soon return to Maccabi Tel Aviv, a senior official from Hungarian club Ferencváros has tempered expectations, stating that a transfer deal is far from certain. Speaking to Walla Sports, the official emphasized Kanikovski's importance to the team, noting that he is one of their best players and a regular starter in both the Hungarian league and European competitions. The club is preparing for a Europa League qualifying match this week, with Kanikovski playing a central role.

The official highlighted that Kanikovski has a contract for several more years and that the club is very satisfied with his performance. He added that any sale would require an offer they cannot refuse, especially given league restrictions on foreign players. According to Transfermarkt, Kanikovski's market value is around four million euros, which is reportedly higher than what Maccabi Tel Aviv is willing to pay. Therefore, the official concluded that if a deal happens, it will take time and depend heavily on the offer Maccabi Tel Aviv presents for the talented player.
