Stav Toriel is the bright spot for Hapoel Tel Aviv from the start of the season. The winger who came to the Reds last January for 400 thousand NIS after being pushed to the end of the rotation at MS Ashdod, stood out at the end of the season with the Reds, and has now become the face of the club in the National League, and the main executor with 4 goals from the start of the season.
Toriel, who has signed for two more with the Reds, has a release clause of 1.5 million euros, for a team abroad only, was already marked in the summer as a player who will lead the club in the national team. The player himself was not in a hurry to leave either, and the Reds also knew that, unlike Lios, who was supposed to earn 325 thousand euros, Toriel’s salary is significantly lower, and such that the Reds will be able to afford it even in the national team.
At the beginning of the window, before Safra arrived, Hapoel Tel Aviv thought to sell him because of the economic hardship during the Mintzberg era. Then Laios and Benjamin were on the shelf, practically every player that could be sold.
In those days, all the big teams were interested – Maccabi Tel Aviv, Beitar Jerusalem and Hapoel Be’er Sheva, but things did not materialize into a serious enough and tempting offer to leave. The offers were a little less than a million euros and Hapoel Tel Aviv did not want to sell for such an amount.
When Safra arrived he was promised that his contract would be extended and upgraded after he was not released. It hasn’t happened yet, but following his successful start to the season on a personal level and especially after the good performance he gave yesterday, it is likely that the process will speed up in the coming days.
“He is a humble and introverted boy at the level of character. A quiet kid, doesn’t talk much but works hard and gives 100% in every training session,” shared a member of the professional team, “he’s thirsty to improve. He has something special, a special left leg. He is very loved by the team and the dressing room and also by the professional team, the management and the owner.’
In Hapoel Tel, Toriel is guarded and understands the hype around him. For example, in the season opening interviews with the media, all the club’s players were given the green light to be interviewed, except for one: Stav Toriel, who they preferred to keep away from the media and statements. For the time being, he doesn’t bother about it at all and doesn’t let the background noise To disturb him, when those around him broadcast that he is concerned about one thing: Hapoel Tel Aviv’s promotion to the league.
