The reigning champions are seeking to strengthen their defense ahead of the upcoming season amid significant changes within their squad in this position.

Interest in Alexander Sirutka

Reports indicate that Maccabi Tel Aviv is contemplating the signing of Ukrainian-Jewish defender Alexander Sirutka, who previously played for Maccabi Haifa during the last season. The club is looking to acquire Israeli defenders, and Sirutka, meeting this criterion, is noted for his impressive performances while on loan at Maccabi Haifa.

Background on Sirutka’s Tenure

Previously on loan from Dynamo Kyiv to Maccabi Haifa, Sirutka’s loan included a purchase option valued at €2 million, which Haifa ultimately decided not to exercise at the end of the season. The 25-year-old defender made 26 appearances across all competitions last season, scoring twstart. Notably, during the 2021/22 season, he participated in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League with Dynamo Kyiv, starting five matches against teams including Barcelona, Benfica, and Bayern Munich.

As Maccabi Tel Aviv aims to bolster their backline ahead of the next season, the potential signing of Sirutka represents an intriguing option for the club as they navigate a transformative phase within their roster.
