Pauk's "crime": this is how the Greeks gave up an opportunity to sign Eran Zahavi

In the summer of 2020, the Israeli was offered, according to reports, but the club's leaders preferred Antonio Cholak, who was purchased for 3 million euros and scored only three league goals: "a story that Pauk surely prefers to forget"

Voila system!

Summary: Aris Thessaloniki - Maccabi Tel Aviv 1:2 (Sport1)

Even when he is still not 100 percent healthy, even when he is not yet starting in the lineup, Eran Zahavi's influence on Maccabi Tel Aviv is enormous, as could be learned in the pair of games against Aris Thessaloniki.

The never-ending striker came off the bench twice, scored two decisive goals and has a lot of stake in the Yellows qualifying for the playoff stage of the Conference League qualifiers.

In Greece, they still haven't gotten over Aris' dismissal, and last night (Sunday) exposed the big miss of the city rival - PAUK Thessaloniki - which, it is claimed, had a golden opportunity to sign Zahavi - an opportunity it missed.

This happened, according to a report on the "Sportdog" website, in the summer of 2020, when the Israeli was debating what his next stop would be after Guangzhou R&F, before eventually choosing PSV Eindhoven.

As it turns out, there was also an offer from Pauk Thessaloniki on the table, but the professional manager at the time, Olaf Raba, and coach Abel Pereira decided to reject Zahavi, and instead sign Antonio Cholac, who was bought from Rijeka for 3 million euros and turned out to be a big flop: the Croatian scored three goals League only in 25 appearances.

Fawc still regretting it?

"This is a story that Pauk would probably prefer to forget," wrote in Greece, in an article titled 'Pauk's crime with Zahavi'.

"Even today, at Maccabi Tel Aviv, Zahavi continues to show the art of scoring goals. He is a reliable scorer wherever he played"
