Yahav Gurfinkel terminates contract with AEK Larnaca

AEK Larnaca and Israeli left-back Yahav Gurfinkel have officially parted ways following a mutual decision to terminate his contract early. The announcement, confirmed by the player's agent, Gikland Katsav, on September 18, 2026, marks the end of a short and unsuccessful tenure for the 27-year-old footballer at the Cypriot club.

Katsav openly criticized the move to the Larnaca-based team, describing the transfer as a mistake in hindsight. Despite the unsuccessful stint, the agent maintained that the player remains a high-quality asset, highlighting his previous two-year successful performance in China. As the transfer window has already closed, Gurfinkel is now entering the market as a free agent, which his representative considers a strategic advantage for his future career path.
