Summary of the round of 16 of the Cup: Maccabi Haifa - Hapoel Haifa 1:5 (Sport1)
Ahead of the almost certain departure of Neta Lavi to Gamba Osaka, Maccabi Haifa is starting to go into high gear in regards to the search for a replacement.
Currently, the champions are focusing on the Aden Kartsev option, but the team wants the deal with Maccabi Netanya to be an exchange deal that will include the exchange of players, in order to reduce the team's financial demands from the diamond city.
One of the players who may be included in the trade is Nahorai Yafarah.
The promising striker has already closed his terms in the cities of Tiberias from the National League, but in Haifa they have not yet completed the move to keep the possibility of including Yafarah in the deal with Netanya.
Besides Yafarah, Maor Levy may also be included in the trade.
The connection is also wanted by MS Ashdod, Maccabi Petah Tikva and Hapoel Hadera, but in Haifa they prefer that he move to Netanya as part of an exchange deal.
In addition, in Haifa we marked the possibility of including in the deal Aviel Zargari who will move to Haifa soon, as well as Ofri Arad.

If Haifa does not reach an agreement with Netanya and Kartsev does not arrive, the club will consider alternative options.
Biram Kiel of Bnei Sakhnin is one of the candidates.
Also, regardless of the identity of Lavi's replacement, Bassem Zarora will return from the loan at Hapoel Afula.
The Greens will not be satisfied with that and are also looking for reinforcements for the attack.
The goal is to add Dia Saba, but if the move doesn't work out, the possibility of adding Osher Davide, who rarely plays for Standard Liege, will be examined.
