As first reported in "Israel Today", Maccabi Tel Aviv tonight (Wednesday) officially announced the signing of Eden Shamir on a one-season contract, after successfully passing the medical tests at the club and being loaned from the Belgian Standard Liege team where he has played since January 2020.
The midfielder, who will wear the Yellows' number 18 shirt, told the official website after the signing: "I am happy and excited to join a large and powerful club in the form of Maccabi Tel Aviv. It is a dream come true for every child to come to a club of this size and now Achieve its goals this season. "
The director of the football department at Maccabi Tel Aviv, Barak Yitzhaki, added: "We are happy to add Eden to Maccabi Tel Aviv and wish him success."
The Yellows are destined for Shamir to play a key role in the team and in fact he will have to step into the big shoes of Dor Peretz, who left for Italy this summer, and until that moment no replacement has arrived in his place. This will be Shamir's third stop in Israel after Kiryat Shmona and Hapoel Beer Sheva, from where he is known to have been sold to the Belgians for 1.8 million euros.
