Despite Maccabi Tel Aviv's victory over Ironi KS and its fantastic start to the season, the Yellows are interested in adding at least two more reinforcements in the coming days.
Maccabi hope that it will be possible to close this week with Pisa for the amount of approximately 1.5 million euros for the purchase of Yonatan Cohen, where part of the money is the balance of the payment that the Italians are supposed to transfer to the Israeli team, after purchasing the player last year for 2.2 million euros.
Besides Cohen, the coach Vladan Ivić wants to strengthen the team with a brake and another attacking player instead of Stipa Fritza and Kovaas who left and left room for two more foreigners.
In this context, Maccabi hopes that after not being able to sign foreign players until now, the negotiations with the Dutch defender, Derrick Lucassen, who ended his contract at PSV.
Eindhoven, will eventually succeed and he will sign with the team.

The team praised Oskar Gloch "for whom they come to see football", and Gabi Kanikovsky, who starred in the victory over KS. The defender Nir Biton was not included in the squad yesterday due to an injury and the yellows preferred to rest the player and not risk him, but the estimates are that he will be fit for the next game.

Gabi Kanikovski talked about his feelings after the pair and said: "I celebrated a little less because of Shabbat, it hurts and hurts me. In Israel they only want a player to bring numbers, but for me it is important to help the team achieve its goals and we met that."
The midfielder also referred to the anger of his coach Vladan Ivitch and the number of midfielders in the squad and said: "We work all week on something specific and when the coach sees that we don't implement it, I'm sure it hurts him. There are players who need to improve and meet his and Maccabi Tel Aviv's expectations. This year Maccabi does not have "A ego.
Obviously, those who don't play are a bit upset, but everyone pushes each other.
You have to prove yourself every game like last week I was on the bench and now I proved that the goal is for Maccabi to run for all the titles."
