Hapoel Tel Aviv is beginning to make moves in the market ahead of next season in the EuroLeague and has set its sights on Chuma Okeke, currently tied to Real Madrid
According to information reported by journalist Tomer Givati, the Israeli club is evaluating the acquisition of American power forward Chuma Okeke, though his contractual situation complicates any potential deal. Okeke is signed with the Spanish club through 2027, which would require direct negotiations or a significant financial move to facilitate his departure.
Hapoel's interest stems from the intention to strengthen its interior game with a versatile profile, capable of contributing on both ends of the floor. Okeke fits that mold with his physical ability, defensive versatility, and potential to space the floor.
For now there are no concrete developments, but his name joins the list of players being monitored by the Israeli team in a market that is already beginning to heat up with an eye toward the 2026-27 season.
