Ofer Yannay has revealed that Hapoel Tel Aviv is operating with a total budget of around \u20ac70 million for the 2026-27 season. The club owner, however, explained why he believes a direct comparison with other EuroLeague powers would be misleading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Israeli media, Hapoel\u2019s net player payroll is around \u20ac29 million. \u201cOur budget? Yeah, around \u20ac70 million. Everything considered: taxation and everything,\u201d Yannay told Sportal. He pointed to the club\u2019s second base in Sofia, where Hapoel plays its EuroLeague home games, and higher taxation compared with Greece as additional costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yannay also cited Israeli league roster rules, which allow only five imports, as another factor increasing expenses. \u201cIf you subtract these three dimensions, I think it\u2019s supposed to be like \u20ac55 million, which means we are probably in the same area as Olympiacos and Panathinaikos.\u201d He added that Hapoel may also need to pay a premium because it is not yet an established EuroLeague franchise and due to the situation in Israel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
