Small gaps in the negotiations between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Pisa regarding the purchase of Yonatan Cohen.
The yellows hope to close the deal this week, when at this stage it seems that the amount of the deal will be around 1.6-1.7 million euros.
Most of the amount is, as you know, due to the cancellation of the second payment by the Italians to the Israeli group.
Besides Cohen, the coach Vladan Ivić is also interested in adding a foreign attacking player instead of Stipa Fritza, who can play as a striker and on the wing, like Chico Opuedo was in the past, and yesterday (Saturday) against Ashdod he received the proof that he needs three good strikers, after Yovanovic He was removed and the whole attack was on Eran Zahavi's back.
Maccabi were not too excited by the missed penalty and Zahavi's lukewarm play and are convinced that the confidence of the player, who took responsibility at the end of the game, will not be damaged and he will still score a lot of goals this season.
"Eran Zahavi is a winner. If there had been another penalty after the miss, he would have kicked it as well. That's why he reaches the numbers he does," said goalkeeper Daniel Peretz, who added, "I'm sure that Eran himself knows that he won't score 100 percent of the penalties and that Happens".

Peretz, who was the standout in the game with a number of great saves, commented on Jovanovic's absence and said: "Of course his disadvantage affected us. A player of his caliber can contribute to us, the best thing about him is scoring goals, and yes he was missing."
Ahead of the upcoming call-ups to the Israeli national team, Peretz said: "I feel ready to be the goalkeeper of the senior national team, but it is a great privilege to be in both the junior and senior national teams, and wherever they ask me to play, I accept with open arms and I only want to represent Israel in one of the national teams."
