Second only to Eran Zahavi: the amount rejected by Eli Desa
The salary that Goldhar offered to pay and the dispute over an option in the contract: Lidi and voila!

Summary: Nice - Maccabi Tel Aviv 0:2 (Sport1)
A few days remain until the closing of the transfer window in most leagues in Europe, and as things stand as of today (Monday), it is not clear where Eli Desa will play in the upcoming season.
What is certain, the player probably believed that he would receive more attractive offers from Maccabi Tel Aviv, otherwise it is quite difficult to understand why the senior right back in Israeli football refused the far-reaching offer he received from the owner of Maccabi Tel Aviv Mitch Goldhar, the details of which came into my possession.
sport.
Already about three weeks ago, an offer of 650,000 net euros per season, in a five-year contract, was presented to Dessa, but with the stipulation that after three years, Maccabi Tel Aviv will have the right to decide whether the contract will be renewed for a fourth season, and then the same option regarding the fifth year.
According to what is known, Desa insisted on four years to begin with and another fifth season as an option of the club.
The stated salary was supposed to place the defender as the second highest earner on the Yellows' roster, after Eran Zahavi.
Just for the sake of illustration, a baby boomer who recently returned - will benefit less from this.

Despite the general offer being uncommon in the local football scene, Desa gave up as mentioned, taking quite a risk for him because the facts on the ground show up to this moment that he has not had any significant negotiations this summer with another club in Europe or the United States.
It is very doubtful whether Maccabi Tel Aviv will be ready to make an offer to Desa again under such conditions and amounts, since the situation at the club has changed as a result of being kicked out of the Conference League by Nice last weekend.
There is no doubt that Maccabi Tel Aviv still wants the right-back of the Israeli team, and if the latter signals that he wants to talk about the terms of the contract again, the leaders of the yellows will also be interested in such a move, but it is not certain that Goldhar will now agree to the terms that he was right to offer before the expulsion from Europe.
