Last night (Tuesday) Anda Mazuko, the determining man in Botafogo, shed some light on the negotiations with Zehavi and in fact confirmed that the team did not really give up on the Israeli star: "We are working hard on the deal and are exploring our options.

We want to strengthen the staff and hope we succeed.

It is a short transfer window, but we are continuing our contacts with Zahavi. "

Mazuko added:" We have tough competition from Europe.

We try to be as efficient as we can.

Our goal is to get stronger by closing the window and I am optimistic.

The window closes on the 18th of the month, there is still some time.

We do not work with a deadline, it does not work that way.

There is competition from other clubs, it is not easy.

Players are interested in coming to us and we are making every effort to close with them. "

The local media in Rio also claim that this deal is still possible and that there are some teams that want Zahavi and therefore the competition makes it difficult for the Brazilians to close the deal.

In any case, developments in the Zehavi sector are expected in the near future and it is possible that the appointment of the new coach at Maccabi Tel Aviv may also influence the Israeli star's decision.
