Yahav Gurfinkel nears departure from AEK Larnaca

Israeli defender Yahav Gurfinkel is reportedly nearing a transfer from AEK Larnaca to Hapoel Tel Aviv as of August 19, 2026. After AEK Larnaca acquired Brian Olivan, Gurfinkel was deemed surplus to requirements and is now actively seeking a new team to continue his career. Sources indicate that negotiations between the player and the Israeli club are in advanced stages.

Gurfinkel joined AEK Larnaca in January 2026, signing a two-and-a-half-year contract. He had previously played for Hapoel Tel Aviv, making a return to his home country a favorable option for the athlete. While the transfer is not yet finalized, reports from Israeli media and local sports outlets confirm that the player is positive about the move, and the deal appears to be moving toward completion.
