Israeli club Maccabi Haifa has set its sights on Red Star’s Fodé Doucouré as it looks to reinforce its squad ahead of upcoming European competitions.
The club, which regularly competes in the UEFA Champions League and Europa League, is keen to strengthen multiple areas of the pitch, with the Malian full-back emerging as a key target.
Maccabi Haifa prepared to make an offer
Maccabi Haifa is ready to submit a bid of approximately €1 million for Doucouré, who has been making a strong impression in France’s Ligue 2.
The 23-year-old has been a standout performer for Red Star, with his attacking capabilities and defensive solidity earning him attention from multiple clubs.
Since the beginning of 2025, Doucouré has regained confidence and form, becoming a vital player in Red Star’s campaign.
The right-back, known for his modern and dynamic style of play, has contributed one goal in 22 league appearances this season.
His performances have not gone unnoticed, and several clubs have already begun making inquiries about a potential summer move.
Red Star in talks over contract extension
While interest in Doucouré grows, Red Star remains determined to retain their prized asset.
The club is currently engaged in discussions with the player’s representatives over a contract extension, as his current deal is set to expire on June 30, 2025.
Despite his rising stock, Doucouré’s market value is currently estimated at €500,000 on Transfermarkt, a figure that could increase should his strong performances continue.
Crucial fixtures ahead for Red Star
As speculation over his future intensifies, Doucouré’s focus remains on the pitch, with Red Star preparing for a crucial Ligue 2 encounter against Rodez AF.
The match is expected to be a key moment in the club’s season as they push for a strong finish in the league.
With Maccabi Haifa’s interest now public and other clubs monitoring the situation, Doucouré faces an important few months that could shape the next step in his career.
