Summary of today's events in sports (Sport1)
Sivasspor accepted the departure of Dia Saba, who has a low release clause of 250,000 euros.
The Israeli striker experienced a great half season in Sivas, with 5 goals and 3 assists in the league and also a goal and two assists in the Conference League.
Already in November, Saba informed the leaders of Sivasspor that he did not intend to stay and his good ability made him a returning player who will not have difficulty finding a new team.
Maccabi Haifa has expressed interest, but it was reported in Turkey that Shakhshir is also in the picture and this of course could guarantee the 30-year-old striker a much higher salary.
Gulf teams are also following and if Saba's main consideration is financial, Maccabi Haifa will have a very hard time joining.
"Seva will leave us, there is nothing we can do about it," said Sivaspor coach Riza Chalimbai after the 1:2 victory over Kasimpesha yesterday - a game in which the Israeli scored the first goal.
The coach added: "That's how his contract is structured. It's his decision alone, we don't want him to leave."
5 goals and 3 assists in the Turkish league this season.

Saba left Israel in January 2019, when it was sold from Po'el Beer Sheva to the Chinese Guangzhou R&F.
He played in the media for a little over a year and a half and in September 2020 - against the backdrop of the outbreak of the Corona virus in China - he moved to Al Nassar from the United Arab Emirates.
After his contract ended, he moved to Sivasspor at the end of last August.
