Transfer targets

Door shut on Ammar Ramadan

Hapoel Tel Aviv asked and DAC Dunajska Streda said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

The terraces

Hapoel Tel Aviv sell a favourite for $1.7M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Anas Mahamid was one of the reasons people came, and $1.7M does not replace that by itself.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Hapoel Tel Aviv walk away from Ben Lederman

$1.2M was the most the club would pay and Maccabi Tel Aviv were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market

Hapoel Tel Aviv sell Anas Mahamid for $1.7M

Anas Mahamid has left for Hapoel Kfar Saba in a $1.7M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Tel Aviv bid $620.0K for Liam Hermesh

The offer went to Maccabi Haifa this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Boardroom

Hapoel Tel Aviv go back to the board over Liam Hermesh

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $609.5K — a club that wants Liam Hermesh enough to be asked twice.

Boardroom

1 academy players handed senior numbers at Hapoel Tel Aviv

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Market

One of our own: Itay David joins the Hapoel Tel Aviv first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Itay David is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Transfer targets

Hapoel Tel Aviv try to borrow Leonel Pérez

Grêmio have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

In brief
