Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Ironi Kiryat Shmona 1:3 (Sport1)
Maccabi Tel Aviv are satisfied with the signing of Derrick Lucassen and make it clear that this is not a default or a stopper who was signed under pressure to find someone before the window closes.
Officials at the club testified last night and this morning (Monday) that immediately after the Danish stopper Andreas Maxo was removed from the purchase list during the month of July, Maccabi Tel Aviv went for Lucassen, but PSV Eindhoven did not want to release him on the grounds that they had two injured stoppers in the squad and might need his services of Lucassen during the summer.
Maccabi Tel Aviv's attempts to close a deal with the Dutch a month and a half ago, backfired and Maccabi Tel Aviv took a step back and decided to give up.
However, the other options that were on the table as far as Maccabi Tel Aviv were concerned, did not mature into a deal and Maccabi Tel Aviv returned to Lucassen in the last two weeks when PSV Eindhoven already agreed to release him on a free transfer.
Lucassen still debated between Maccabi Tel Aviv and other teams that were interested in him, but the presence of Eran Zahavi and Joris Van Overeem, whom he knows well, led to his decision to come to Maccabi Tel Aviv.

It should be noted that Maccabi Tel Aviv has been debating for the last ten days whether it needs another stopper in the squad, after it already has five, but the move of Veldan Ivić to a formation with three stoppers, decided that it needs another quality stopper in the squad for the team's long season at the end of which it wants to return to its ranks the championship
As mentioned, Lucassen arrives on a free transfer and is expected to earn around 450,000 euros net in each of the two seasons he signed.
Maccabi Tel Aviv are not expected to stand in the way of Idan Nahmias if he asks to be released on loan.
Nahmias now becomes the sixth defender in Maccabi Tel Aviv's squad, after Sharan Yeni and Shahar Piven are preferred over him.
Together with Nir Biton, Enrik Savorit and Lucassen, as mentioned, Maccabi Tel Aviv has an impressive linebacker and if Nachmias feels that he cannot go through a season in which he is not planned in advance to be a starting linebacker, Maccabi Tel Aviv should not oppose his release.

In the meantime, the talks between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Pisa about Yonatan Cohen continue, with the basis of the transfer fee being the same 1.1 million euros that constitute the second payment that the Italians have to transfer this month to Maccabi Tel Aviv for the striker.
The Italians are not satisfied with this amount and want to get closer to the 2.2 million euros they paid a year ago for Cohen.
The two clubs will close the details soon since Pisa is not interested in the player and apparently he was not included in its squad in the last games.

In addition to Cohen, Maccabi Tel Aviv will add a forward foreigner who can play as a striker and as a winger.
The team was hoping to land Aldo Kalolo after they had already agreed with Soshu on his purchase, but the player made it clear last weekend that he is staying with his team and will not come to Maccabi Tel Aviv.
Now the team is working on adding a foreigner in this position and they will not remain in this pioneer position.
Loldan Ivić is in real trouble at the front for Saturday.
George Jovanovic was sent off against Kiryat Shmona yesterday and will be absent, and Dor Turgeman is currently doing his training.
Eran Zahavi is the only striker in the Serbian squad, who may therefore change his formation and switch to playing with one striker.
