Maccabi Tel Aviv in talks with Real Madrid forward Peter Corneli - Walla! sport

Recap: Real Madrid vs Malaga 90:102 (Sport1)

Maccabi Tel Aviv continues its race to build its squad. One of the Yellows' main goals for next season is to strengthen the front line, and voila! Sport has learned that Oded Ketch's team is in talks with Peter Corneli (27, 2.11m) in preparation for a possible joining.

The Yellows have opened talks with the Real Madrid forward, hoping to complete the move quickly. In addition to Corneli, Partizan Belgrade player Zak Liddy is also being considered, but the club is pessimistic as the Serbs are expected to extend the American interior player's contract. Therefore, talks began with Corneli, who is highly regarded by the Yellows.
