Maccabi Tel Aviv is in advanced talks with the Dutch defender Derrick Lucassen
PSV is ready to sell the 27-year-old brakeman for a relatively low amount, after rejecting offers from Greece and France.
Last year he made 20 appearances as a loaner in the Turkish Kargomruk opening act.
Kovas arrived in Kiryat Shalom and said goodbye to his friends: "I will remain your fan, love you and hope you win the championship."

Summary: Hapoel Hadera - Maccabi Tel Aviv 6:0 (Sport1)
After the release of Brendley Kubas, Maccabi Tel Aviv made room for another foreigner.
This foreigner may be Dutch Derrick Lucassen (27), who belongs to PSV Eindhoven, Eran Zahavi's former team.
According to reports in the Netherlands, PSV is not interested in extending the contract of the stopper, who will become a free agent next summer, and will therefore be ready to accept relatively low offers for him.
After several offers from France and Greece were rejected, Maccabi Tel Aviv's may be accepted.
The parties are in advanced talks.
Lucassen, who grew up in Alkmaar's youth division and moved up to the senior team in 2014, was sold in the summer of 2017 to PSV for 5 million euros.
However, in the uniform of the luxury team from Eindhoven, he played only 19 times over the years, and went on loan to Hertha Berlin, Anderlecht and Kampasa.
Last year he made 20 appearances in the opening match of the Turkish side Kargomaruk and, as in the past, again suffered from several injuries that caused him to miss games.
Is a foreign brake found?

Maccabi Tel Aviv has a perfect record after the two opening rounds of the Premier League, even historic in light of the fact that they scored 11 goals and conceded none.
On Saturday (18:00, Sport3) they will host Kiryat Shmona and hope to continue the tremendous momentum, when they are still without Joris van Overeem who injured his ankle and also without Stipe Fritza who, as we know, flew to Belgium without permission in order to sign with Standard Liege.
Just a few hours after Maccabi Tel Aviv said goodbye to him, this evening Brendley Kovas arrived in Kiryat Shalom to say goodbye to an exciting group of his friends in the last season.
Many of the team's players did not know this morning that he had already finished his career at the club, even if those he was in close contact with.
Kovas decided not to leave without saying goodbye to his friends and arrived in Kiryat Shalom to say goodbye to both the players and coach Vladan Ivić and his team.
Kubas told the players: "I'm sure you'll have a great season, I appreciate and love you all. I'm starting a new path, but you'll all be in my heart. I'll follow you, I'll remain your fan and I'll be happy if you win the championship"

Coach
Vladan Ivitch
's press conference was held tonight, in which the coach said ahead of Kiryat Shmona: "We are preparing for the match as for any match and first of all we are analyzing ourselves. We know that we have a tough match ahead of us, we will meet an opponent with good players. It will be a different match compared to the previous matches."
On the situation of the squad: "I need to see if everyone who played against Hadera will be available to us, one way or another we will play with the 11 that will be the best for the meeting. Van Overeem is still in pain."
On Stipa Fritza he said: "The player decided to leave, and since then it's between him and the club. I'm not interested in commenting on the subject of Eli Dassa at the moment."
Even before Ivic, it was
Shahar Piven
who spoke: "We feel good, in a positive mood and we are doing a good job - the whole team, not just me personally, also see it in the results, but we can still improve many things."
