Sokler to undergo medical tests at Maccabi Tel Aviv, Belić dejected

Aster Sokler, who landed in Israel last night following prolonged negotiations between him and Maccabi Tel Aviv, as well as between the clubs, will begin medical examinations this morning ahead of signing a three-year contract. Sokler is expected to earn about 350,000 euros before various grants and bonuses. Maccabi Tel Aviv will pay one million euros to the Serbian club Radnički for the transfer. In any case, the player will not be able to participate in Thursday's second leg match, which Maccabi Tel Aviv will host in Batumi, Georgia, against Sheriff Tiraspol.

The club is already very pleased with the performance of Sayed Abu Farchi. The striker has scored four goals in the team's two matches so far, and the outcome of the tie was effectively decided in the first leg following Maccabi Tel Aviv's big victory last Thursday.

Meanwhile, the club received the difficult news that Kristian Belić has broken a metatarsal bone in his foot. Recovery from this injury is lengthy and may take over three months. Belić returned to the country in a very dejected mood, which is understandable, as he had suffered from various injuries last season and was convinced that this season he would make a breakthrough and become an active, integral part of the team.
