Maccabi Tel Aviv expresses interest in Cypriot defender Stelios Andreou

Maccabi Tel Aviv has initiated preliminary contact regarding the transfer of Cypriot international defender Stelios Andreou. The player, who joined Polish club Widzew Lodz this summer from Charleroi for 1.3 million euros, is currently under contract for another three years. While his market value is estimated at 2 million euros, media reports from Poland suggest that Widzew Lodz is demanding between 4 million and 5 million euros for his release. If a deal is completed at these figures, it would represent a record transfer fee for Maccabi Tel Aviv. The reports of this potential transfer originated from Israeli media and have since been widely discussed in the Polish press. No official agreement has been confirmed by any of the involved parties at this stage.
