Summary: Maccabi Tel Aviv - Maccabi Haifa 0:3 (Sport1)
Barcelona also understand: Oskar Gloch has already chosen his next destination, and will not come to the club.
Today (Tuesday), Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano reported on an agreement between Maccabi Tel Aviv and Red Bull Salzburg regarding the transfer of the 18-year-old midfielder, and the multitude of teams that expressed interest in the gifted talent internalized that he would no longer land with them.
The Catalan "Sport" reported disappointment in Barcelona following Gloch's decision.
"Red Bull Salzburg took Gloch to Barcelona," read the headline, and in the body of the article they explained: "Barcelona were convinced that they were able to sign Gloch, but the sports plan presented to him did not convince him. Barcelona tried to initiate the move because they saw Oscar as a player who could make a difference, But in the end he will move to the Austrian club after being convinced that this is the best step for his career, as of now."
He was not blinded by Barca.

According to the report, "Gloch has been under very close scrutiny in recent months, since he exploded in the Euros under the age of 19 last summer. Jordi Cruyff tried to help and in internal talks at Barcelona, everyone was convinced that he would be a good fit for the club. Barca had high hopes that they could close the deal, but Salzburg made him a more tempting offer from a financial and professional point of view. In fact, until the last moment, Gloch was the priority of Barcelona's scouting department, but he himself was afraid of the role assigned to him at the club, and was afraid that he would be forced to play for Barcelona B. He preferred to take a step forward in his European career, In a team uniform that can give him minutes immediately. In Salzburg he will get the stage, so it may be the right step for him at this point."
In Austria this morning they were proud of the "victory" of Salzburg and the professional manager Christoph Freund, who was ahead of many senior teams in the fight for Gloch.
According to the website "Krona", the fact that Freund himself came to Israel to watch the Gloch and close the deal, "proves how serious Salzburg is about him, and how much it believes in him not only for the long term - but also for the immediate term".
