Summary of the State Cup: Hapoel Hadera - Maccabi Tel Aviv 2:0/Sport1
With the signing of Younes Melda this morning (Wednesday), Maccabi Tel Aviv added three players in the current transfer window - the three legionnaires Matan Balatxa, Aden Kartsev and Younes Melda - but Kiryat Shalom do not intend to stop there.
There is exactly one week left until the closing of the transfer window in Israel and the goal is to add seven new players in total.
These are Elad Madmon from Hapoel Hadera, Shagib Yehezkel who was released from Antalyaspor, Raz Shlomo who plays for the Belgian Lebens, as well as a Zakar player in the right wing position.
This is the goal of Maccabi Tel Aviv for the coming days and that is what the club is working on, when every player has his status.
Regarding Medemon, negotiations are underway with Hapoel Hadera and the player also still needs to agree to move to Maccabi Tel Aviv. In addition, Hapoel Hadera has not yet confirmed his transfer in the current window and talks are ongoing. Things are progressing and there is more than likely a chance that there will be a deal soon.
As for Hezekiel, the most important element is FIFA's approval of his move to a third team this season. If and when the approval is received, Maccabi Tel Aviv will try to reach an agreement with him on the amount of his salary and the length of the contract.
Even in this case, the chances are quite good assuming that FIFA will indeed approve him to play in a third team after he has already played for Hapoel Beer Sheva and Antalyaspor.

Regarding Raz Shlomo, the negotiations are at a slower pace and there are gaps with Leuven, who purchased him for over a million euros. With Shlomo, there are no problems with regard to the terms of his contract, and Maccabi Tel Aviv are trying to agree on his transfer for much lower amounts.
As for a foreign player for the right wing position, talks are taking place With two players who so far preferred to move to other teams because of the security situation in Israel, but the coming days could be a key to change, so that the sixth foreigner whose place is still available could also be caught in the coming days.
