Maccabi Tel Aviv Nears Signing Midfielder Gabi Kanichovsky from Ferencváros
Maccabi Tel Aviv is close to finalizing the transfer of midfielder Gabi Kanichovsky from Hungarian club Ferencváros. Negotiations are ongoing, with both sides optimistic about completing the deal after Ferencváros' Europa League playoff matches. Kanichovsky has already agreed to personal terms with Maccabi Tel Aviv, and the remaining issue is the transfer fee compensation between the clubs.
Ferencváros appears motivated to sell for financial reasons, while Maccabi Tel Aviv's interest is driven by sporting considerations. The transfer is expected to progress following Ferencváros' second leg match against Trabzonspor, which will determine their qualification for the Europa League group stage.
Kanichovsky joined Ferencváros last summer on a free transfer after his contract with Maccabi Tel Aviv expired. During his time in Hungary, he made 56 appearances, scoring 8 goals and providing 5 assists. The deal, once completed, will mark his return to Israeli football with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
