After the signing of Ante Zizic, good news for Maccabi Tel Aviv fans as progress in negotiations with Amara Studmeier.

According to sources involved in the details over the past few days both parties have made it clear that they are interested in the continuation of the engagement and the talks have gone into high gear. The player has clarified his financial demands and now the club management is preparing its offer in the hope that the player will relent and agree to sign a contract for another season.

The 37-year-old Studmeier, who holds Israeli citizenship, joined Maccabi Tel Aviv in the middle of the season and with the renewal of the league after the Corona break, became one of the significant players in the yellow when he finished the playoffs and Final Four with averages of 10.4 points and 5 rebounds.
