Maccabi Haifa goalkeeper Josh Cohen tends to accept the club's offer and sign a new two-year contract.
The 29-year-old Jew / American was looking for a group in the US but after not finding one, his tendency is to stay in Israel.
Naturally, his contract will be upgraded towards $ 180-200,000 per season.
It is important to note that Cohen came to Israel as a second goalkeeper 3 years ago with a goal of $ 80,000, which was double what he received in the second division in the US. The meager market, in Haifa want to see Cohen continue, certainly when he does not grab a foreigner's slot.
Beyond that, the club's goal is to add 3-4 players by the start of training on June 15.
The positions in which coach Barak Bachar is determined to strengthen are the right and left defender and the striker position.
In the Israeli section, Haifa will try to add one of the two in the defensive squad: Matan Balteksa or Hatem Abdelhamid from Hapoel B'Shlosha. The latter is under contract and this is not a simple deal. A. is interested in his services and is offering him $ 350,000 for next season.
