M.S. Ashdod Seeks to Reacquire Cape Verdean Winger Clay from Hapoel Petah Tikva
M.S. Ashdod has approached Hapoel Petah Tikva to negotiate the return of winger Clay, originally from Cape Verde. Clay was purchased by Hapoel Petah Tikva last summer for a substantial fee of 500,000 shekels. The player is now reportedly considering a move back to Ashdod, potentially returning to the Liga Leumit (National League).
Last season, Clay made 36 appearances in the Israeli Premier League, starting in 34 matches. He scored five goals and provided five assists for Hapoel Petah Tikva under coach Omer Peretz. This potential transfer follows a recent move in the opposite direction, where Edmond Asante transferred from M.S. Ashdod to Hapoel Petah Tikva.
The negotiations indicate a possible reshuffling of players between the two clubs ahead of the new season, with Ashdod aiming to strengthen their squad by bringing back a player they once invested heavily in.
