The ten most beautiful goals by Eran Zehavi in the PSV Eindhoven uniform (Sports)
In Brazil, they insist that only bureaucratic matters separate Eran Zehavi from Botafogo, and that the Israeli striker will sign with the ambitious team in the coming days.
Last night (Tuesday) it was reported in the local media that Zahavi agreed to all the terms offered to him as part of the draft contract sent to him last week, and that he will soon be presented as a botafogo player with a one-and-a-half contract until summer 2023. In any case, Zehavi July 17th.
According to local media, the negotiations between Zahavi and Botafogo were long and Sisyphean, and in fact lasted for three months.
Among other things, Brazil claims that Zahavi set special conditions for the group to facilitate his and his family's adaptation to the unfamiliar (and somewhat frightening) environment in Rio de Janeiro.
Among other things, Zehavi asked the team to assign him a private driver, a security guard for him and his wife and children, a tour guide who could take him and his family on tours around the city, and a personal viewing booth in VIP conditions at the team's home stadium.

Botafogo and its billionaire owner John Textur (who recently acquired a stake in French ownership of Lyon) are offering golds almost imaginary sums.
According to reports, the monthly salary offered to Zahavi is about 1.6 million Brazilian rials - about $ 330,000, not including bonuses.
If Zahavi agrees to the offer, he will become the second highest earner in Brazilian football, with only his uncle, the Palmeiras striker, above him.
Gabriel Barbosa, aka "Gabigol", a Flamengo striker, earns 1.5 million riyals a month, and famous stars such as Hulk and Diego Costa (who play for Atletico Mineiro) earn 1.3 million.
Filippa Luis, the left-back of the former Brazil and Atletico Madrid team, also earns less and settles for one million reals "only" a month.
Even they are supposed to earn less.

Either way, in Brazil Zehavi's joining Botafogo is already being treated as a fait accompli and is being analyzed as to how he will fit into the team.
The Lance website published an article describing Zehavi as "a player whose diversity is one of his biggest advantages" and as someone who can successfully collaborate with Arison, the team's senior striker so far this season with 8 wins in 12 appearances.
"Even though Zahavi and Arison play in the same position - they will have no problem joining forces," they explained.
"Zahavi has a big advantage, and he is his diversity. He is not just a classic wide striker, the opposite is true - he prefers to go out of the field and free up space for his teammates to attack. Zahavi is also able to play as a second striker, and in some PSV Eindhoven games he even played wing. In the Israeli team as well, he has successfully collaborated with pioneers such as Mons Dabour or Sean Weissman. "
