24-year-old Cameroonian attacker Jean Florent Batoum is in advanced negotiations for a return to Israel with Hapoel Petah Tikva during this summer transfer window. The proposed move from Cracovie, whom he joined in February 2026, is a loan, which is being considered due to the player's lack of game time in Poland. In the 2025/2026 season, he made 20 appearances in the Israeli top flight, contributing 5 goals and 2 assists, before making 6 appearances for Cracovia. Hapoel Petah Tikva is looking to strengthen its attack, and Batoum's offensive profile fits their project, as he previously played in the Israeli Premier League with MS Ashdod where he scored six goals. The player, who has 2 caps and 1 goal for Cameroon, is under contract with Cracovie until 2028. Discussions are well advanced, with Jean Florent Batoum valued at €350,000 by Transfermarkt, and an agreement could be reached quickly.
