Maccabi Tel Aviv believes that this time Enric Savorit will receive citizenship and will be considered an Israeli in the team's foreign list for next season. Football chairman Shino Zuaretz is in contact with Culture and Sports Minister Miki Zohar, who promised to help Interior Minister Moshe Arbel.
Saborit only had to sign a one-season contract, but the move to naturalize him would lead to him playing in Israel for another three years. Even coach Aitor Karanka said last night as he left the stadium in Ashdod that he takes into account that he will not be considered a foreigner next season, which will allow Maccabi Tel Tel Aviv to strengthen with another foreigner.
