Maccabi Tel Aviv Pursues Go Ahead Eagles Winger Thibo Baeten
Maccabi Tel Aviv is actively pursuing 24-year-old winger Thibo Baeten from Dutch club Go Ahead Eagles. Baeten, who previously played under Maccabi's sporting director Steven Vanhaeren at Beerschot, can operate on both flanks and is seen as a potential backup for Amir Saheti on the right wing. The club considers Baeten a top priority for strengthening their attacking options.
Baeten is currently under contract with Go Ahead Eagles until 2029 and has appeared as a substitute in the first two matches of the current season. However, before completing his signing, Maccabi Tel Aviv must resolve issues related to foreign player slots. The team has loaned out Henry Edu and is dealing with the recovery of Leon Nicolaescu from injury, as well as the situation of young Venezuelan player Kerwin Andrade, who refuses a move to Europe and prefers to transfer to the Brazilian league.
Maccabi Tel Aviv is working to clear these roster complications to finalize Baeten's acquisition and bolster their squad for the ongoing season.
