Nathaniel Chalobah has decided not to join Maccabi Haifa from West Brom.
Nathaniel Chalobah’s transfer to Maccabi Haifa has fallen through, and he will remain with West Brom.
Chalobah was interested in a possible move to Maccabi Haifa because of their potential involvement in European competition.
Despite the fact that the deal fell through, Chalobah’s future at West Brom remains uncertain, and he may go in search of more regular playing time somewhere.
Nathaniel Chalobah’s deal to Maccabi Haifa has fallen through, and he is now back with West Brom.
The midfielder joined Albion in January and made 13 appearances for Carlos Corberan’s side over the season’s closing months as he failed to establish himself as a regular.
Nonetheless, it was startling to see Maccabi Haifa in advanced talks with the Baggies over a deal for the 28-year-old.
The Israelis are now in Champions League qualifying, so there’s a decent chance they’ll compete in Europe this season, therefore the lure of the move was evident for Chalobah.
It was widely known that he had flown over to negotiate with the club, with the hope that the transfer would take place.
However, Chalobah was announced to be back with Albion on Saturday afternoon, and he actually played the second half of their 2-2 pre-season friendly match at Burton Albion.
