David Caro, head of the European division at the Octagon agency, one of the largest player agencies in the world, is in Israel and arrived tonight (Wednesday) to watch Maccabi Tel Aviv's 84:95 victory over Monaco.
Caro, who represents Matthias Lasur, among others, told "Israel Today" about the situation of the French chin who holds a temporary contract with the Yellows and will probably not continue after not being a partner for a long time and in tonight's game he was not registered in the squad.
"We are happy about the opportunity at Maccabi, it was his dream and he enjoys Tel Aviv. We understand his place in the rotation and Matthias understands that his contract is temporary and others have contracts until the end of the season. He is here to help and is interested in the Euroleague. We will decide what to do. "

The Spanish agent who has been in the field for many years also spoke about the uniqueness of the Israeli league that manages to bring in talented American players every season: "The league in Israel is one of the places worth playing given the market situation. Why? And they are brave enough to take a risk and sign 'Rockies' who can be good.
This causes a lot of good young players to come and then move on to top teams in Europe.
This is good for the managers in Israel who do it.
Not all leagues do that. "
Take for example Keenan Evans (another Maccabi Tel Aviv player represented by the Octagon, YM) who came to Europe as a rookie and then came to Israel after Bosnia and is now in the Euroleague. Keenan shows he can be at the highest level in the Euroleague. Maccabi has a history of bringing Players who are not in the Euroleague and make them high-level Euroleague players. "
