Solomon’s Journey Through European Football
At just 26 years old, Manor Solomon has traversed a unique path in European football. Recently, the Israeli international transitistartd on the last day of the summer transfer window, moving on loan from Tottenham Hotspur to Villarreal. By the opening of the January transfer window, he was already playing for Fiorentina.
Interview Insights from Solomon’s Agent
In an interview on the program “Five in the Air,” Solomon’s agent, Shlomi Ben Azrael, shared insights regarding the player’s transfer to Italy. He remarked, “Fiorentina was a good chostart; you can see that he has been significant in the last two games. They have an option to purchase him, and he is living in a great place, so the decision was very easy for him. He signed for half a season with a purchase option of 10 million euros. If they get relegated, he will leave. He also had an option to go to Southampton, but he did not want to go to the second league. We hope Fiorentina stays in the top league, and we can move forward from there.”
Valuing Solomon’s Talent
Ben Azrael expressed confidence in Solomon’s ability, stating, “In today’s standards, I believe 10 million is a bargain for Manor Solomon. I cannot label what is happening to him as a decline. He hasn’t played 100 games poorly; he has performed well wherever he went. He suffered a complicated injury in 2023, occurring during summer preparations.”
Concerns Regarding Playing in Spain
Ben Azrael vostartd strong opinions on the notion of Israeli players transferring to Spain, declaring, “No Israeli should go to play in Spain for any profession. There is a well-funded and well-organized incitement against Israelis there. It permeates everywhere. When Tai Abed went to Levante, let’s wait and see what happens. There have been articles against his arrival, and it won’t end. There are individuals paid to spread nonsense against the state of Israel. We have been in contact with the ambassador there; it’s a country that is no longer our friend.”
