Guinean international Sékou Tidiany Bangoura has emerged as a transfer target for Israeli club Maccabi Haifa following his impressive loan spell at Hapoel Ironi Kiryat Shmona.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder, who is under contract with Turkish side Istanbul Başakşehir, has caught the attention of Maccabi Haifa as they look to bolster their squad for the upcoming season.
Despite his modest statistical output, Bangoura’s consistent performances have made him a notable prospect in the Israeli top flight.
Bangoura has made 26 appearances in all competitions this season, registering one goal and one assist.
His playing time and contribution have not gone unnoticed, with several Israeli media outlets, including M.sport5.co, reporting Maccabi Haifa’s growing interest in securing his services.
Maccabi Haifa are keen to strengthen their midfield options and view Bangoura as a player who could add creativity and dynamism to their squad.
However, any potential deal would depend on whether Istanbul Başakşehir are willing to sanction a permanent transfer for the Guinea U23 international.
Valued at €450,000 by Transfermarkt, Bangoura’s future is likely to be a topic of discussion during the summer transfer window.
The decision now rests with Istanbul Başakşehir as they weigh up the prospect of retaining or offloading the young talent.
