According to Sacha Tavolieri, 28-year-old Moroccan midfielder Selim Amallah has refused an offer from Maccabi Haifa because the sporting aspect is the decisive factor for the player. The transfer specialist stated that the 37-cap international has also turned down proposals from clubs in Mexico and Russia for the same reason, as he aims to stay in contention for the upcoming World Cup. Currently a free agent, Amallah has a market value estimated by Transfermarkt to be €1.60m and has also been linked with clubs such as Anderlecht and Fenerbahçe.
