Maccabi Haifa concluded in principle the transfer of midfielder Goni Naor from Po'el Jerusalem for about two million shekels.
Last night (Tuesday) significant progress was made in the negotiations between the parties and the transfer is expected to be closed in the next day.
Naor will be a free agent in the summer, but in Haifa they wanted to see him already, due to the expected transfer of Neta Lavi to the Japanese Gamba Osaka.
In addition, Haifa signed midfielder Aviel Zargari, who arrived last week from Beitar Jerusalem. This means that the player will be able to play this coming Saturday against Bnei Rayna.
These two moves actually pave the way for Neta Lavie to leave for Japan, when it is estimated that after a number of technical matters are resolved, the captain will take off to sign his contract.
The atmosphere in yesterday's practice was difficult, after the loss to Maccabi Tel Aviv (3:0). "We have a 24-hour rule of celebrations after victories, now we have to implement it after a loss," the club said and added: "We must not sink into it, otherwise it will be difficult for us Also against Raina on Saturday."
Midfielder Dolev Haziza is injured and it is doubtful whether he will be able to start in the lineup.
This means that a badly lacking staff will be available again.
On the other hand, Swedish defender Daniel Sondgren is expected to start in the 11 for the first time since returning from his knee injury.
