Knikowski did not want to hear about staying in the Premier League. He knew that only if he blinked, Maccabi Haifa, Hapoel Beer Sheva and probably also Maccabi Tel Aviv, would jump in and want one of the best connections in the league. The truth? There are no special goods made by the Premier League this summer. Those who stood out like Liel Abda have been sold, and others like Eitan Tibi or Hatem Abdelhamid are already at the end of their careers.

But Kanikovsky, despite the difficulty he experienced as a Jewish footballer who kept tradition and religion, was not afraid of the challenge of playing in Europe with all the existential difficulty involved. When the owner of Maccabi Netanya, Eyal Segal, met with him about two months ago and submitted an offer to him to sign a multi-year contract, one that would place him as the highest earner ever to earn at Maccabi Netanya, Kanikovsky refused. He said that he must make the dream come true and promised to give him peace until July 31 to find a team abroad, otherwise he will stay at Maccabi Netanya according to the contract he has for the upcoming season.

This answer instilled in the staff hopes that the team will be in Europe that will buy him for 1.5 million euros, but also led to the fear that if there is no one, Maccabi Netanya will enjoy the low tier next season, but at the end it will not see any return because he can leave for free.

Just as Dor Peretz did at Maccabi Tel Aviv.

As is well known, Knikowski did not find a team in Europe until the end of July. He may have received offers through Dahan, which have not been published, but the bottom line is here. His presence at Maccabi Netanya led to Maccabi Tel Aviv, Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Beer Sheva showing renewed interest in him. Maccabi Tel Aviv was convinced throughout the summer that it would be Dan Bitton or Gabi Kanikovsky, that there is no place and no point in bringing both, especially when Eyal Golsa's recovery rate is satisfactory and most likely after the team break in about two weeks he will be fully trained after an absence of almost five months. . But the constant criticism from the fans and the demand of the fans to see Kanikovsky in Kiryat Shalom, without taking into account that he left the team when he was young, led to renewed interest that grew after the victory over Shakhtar Kragandi last Thursday in Kazakhstan. Even if they do not admit it, a few hours before tonight's rematch, they are convinced in Kiryat Shalom that they are going up to the Conference League and will soon receive a lot of money (NIS 16 million).Immigration that also requires a deeper staff.

When it was explained to Kanikowski several months ago that there could be a situation in which he would not find a team to his liking in Europe and that he should think of one of the biggest in Israel, he made it clear - according to sources who heard him say this - that of the big three, he would prefer Maccabi Haifa.

At the moment, Maccabi Tel Aviv is the most serious and Knikowski, who wants to delay until the last minute when transfers can be made in various leagues in Europe, now understands that his chances of going abroad have diminished and that he has to decide what to do with his career.

A source who was in close contact with him, claimed this morning that it is better for Kanikovsky to maintain his position now - to play the upcoming season at Maccabi Netanya and be a free agent, understanding that then his chances of going abroad will be higher. Kanikovsky thinks about it well, but there is pressure also understands that the option of Maccabi Tel Aviv is not bad at all, especially when the challenge to regain the championship where he played when he was in youth, has become much more powerful and meaningful.

like his character, the decision soon she's Knikobski alone. no one can pull it And it's not that stressful.The coming weekend will be critical and in the beginning all the relevant parties are expected to understand what Gabi wants to do.

Maccabi Netanya will be happy to sell him to Maccabi Tel Aviv for money and players, Maccabi Tel Aviv is already in the position that it has decided that it wants it and it has the means, and Knikowski?

He will soften more, and may understand that this is the way and the route abroad after seeing Yonatan Cohen's move to Pisa.
