Summary 0: 0 between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Bnei Yehuda (Sport 1)

It is no coincidence that Younes Melda was removed from Maccabi Netanya before he even finished his military service.

The clubs in the middle leagues in Europe are not impressed by the Premier League in Israel and make the purchases mainly because of the potential.

In order for them to have the opportunity to scrub the player for two years and improve it for a future sale, the intended talent needs to be landed at a young age.

This is why Melda, who did not leave a special mark in the Premier League for a long time, came out when he was only 21. If Ghent manages to make him a leading striker in Belgium, he will be sold in two or three years to a major league club and the Belgians will make a buck.

Maccabi Netanya, which has 20 percent of its future sales, will also benefit.

When you belong to a club like Maccabi Netanya or MS.

Ashdod easier for you to go abroad. The club ranks middle of the Premier League there is really a desire to win a championship and hence the goals modest allow the owners to make a decision about the sale - provided of course that the amount would be around 1.5 million euros. We can assume one million euros Eyal Segal was unknown.

When you Belongs to Maccabi Tel Aviv, the world is already different, things are felt in the flesh Jonathan Yonatan, who was not afraid two and a half years ago, when he was 22, to announce that he is no longer willing to go on loan because he is the best. 'he sees Maccabi Tel Aviv station on the road to Europe. but when you're an actor yellow uniform, there are also conferences. alongside fame, titles and especially high wages (Congenital benefit Ghent less than Cohen earns Maccabi Tel Aviv), you are not in control of your career.

Maccabi Tel Aviv Refuses in principle to include release clauses in its players' contracts and even if they really insist, the amount will be very high, so it is irrelevant. Mitch Goldhaar has been paying the best salaries in Israel for a decade, but it's not easy to get up and leave. Leading player It's much more important for him to keep players who can bring in

Beautiful.

Some say that since the trauma of Mons Dabour who left Maccabi Tel Aviv seven years ago in exchange for lentil stew, Goldhaar has replaced the disc and thinks otherwise.

In Europe, a player his age is seen as one who has already missed a round of one sale.

Jonathan Cohen is in a big mess.

On the one hand he very much wants to advance to a club in Europe.

On the other hand, he does not want to go to war with Maccabi Tel Aviv.

But something has changed nonetheless - though the question is whether the player was not late.

Until recently, Maccabi Tel Aviv was not willing to hear about a transfer fee of less than 3 million euros.

At certain times, they also talked about 4 million euros in Kiryat Shalom.

So it was last summer and so it was before.

Now Maccabi Tel Aviv understands that the clock is ticking and Cohen is not getting any younger.

In June he will already be 25 years old and in Europe it is an age that is becoming borderline.

A story from Melda illustrates that Europeans want much younger Israelis so that another round of sales can be made.

This is why Cohen was recently offered by his agents to all the teams in the US. Gadi Kinda's story sold to Kansas City a year ago explains the gap between Europe and MLS. Kinda is one of the great talents that Israeli football has grown in the last decade, but he missed the train to Europe. He could have gone to Austria, Bulgaria or Poland, but not for the amount that Betar Jerusalem sold him.

A year ago, when Kinda was already on the verge of age 26, his place was in America.

He is no longer interested in Europeans.

If he was a free agent and safe with a European passport, he would have had no problem finding a place on the old continent.

It is not difficult to get free agents for small clubs in Europe.

But in Kinda's situation a year ago, and when Moshe Hogg and Jackie Ben Zaken were looking for a handsome return on him, the only place from which the dollars could be brought was the United States.

Cohen is in a similar situation to Kinda and Maccabi Tel Aviv understand today that they are in a different position. A contract until the summer of 2024 and from this point of view the Yellows are in order, but what they are getting at the moment is a player who does not really enjoy his situation. Someone who understands that in a year in the US he will not be in demand because for them he will be $ 2 million.

If Maccabi Tel Aviv insisted on high sums until last summer, now it is estimated that even for 1.5 million euros or even dollars, it will grant the divorce.

The price, age and the fact that he has not yet left a mark on the team do not help sell him to Europe.

In the playing method of Patrick van Leven, who insists on wingers as they like in the Netherlands, Jonathan Cohen can not realize his potential. His position should be below the striker, where he will not be dependent on speed and points where he can threaten the goal and take advantage of his good kick.

It is unclear whether the transition will materialize in the coming month. In terms of dates it is ideal for the move to MLS, which will open in March. New York City and Atlanta were mentioned last week as showing interest in it. Official offers as of last weekend have not yet arrived. If there were already those who blew his neck at Maccabi Tel Aviv, the situation would have been better, but Elon Almog and Matan Hozaz are not conspicuous and the youth department with the high budget has not grown a new talent for two years. Dor Turgeman does not get a chance because he is perceived as too young and Ronen Chantzis is sent to Betar Tel Aviv Bat Yam.

Cohen and his agent army are dealing with this situation. The fact that he is not prominent in the Israeli team certainly does not contribute. The near future will decide where his career goes. Of someone who has been marked here as Eran Zehavi's successor and in the meantime does not get on the runway he is looking for.
