Maccabi Tel Aviv FC reached an agreement with Turkish club Rizespor for Nosa Igiebor’s sale for EUR 500,000.
The 26-year-old Nigerian midfielder who joined Maccabi in July 2014 from Real Betis scored 6 goals in 34 appearances in all competitions and a total of 16 goals in 109 appearances. 
Igiebor told the club’s official website: “I would like to thank everyone at Maccabi Tel Aviv for the support I received during my time at the club: the owner Mitch Goldhar, Jordi Cruyff all the coaches I played under and the teammates I played alongside. A big thank you to the medical staff as well the Maccabi fans. Today I am ending a happy period in Israel but also starting in new one in Turkey which is not too far away. I am going to miss Tel Aviv, Israel and all my friends but as I will be about an hour flight away I promise to come and visit when I can. I wish Maccabi all the best for this season and the future as the battle is far from over. Keep fighting as you all know it is still possible. I am super proud to have worn the Yellow jersey of Maccabi a club”.
Sports Director Jordi Cruyff added: “We would all like to thank Nosa for his contribution to Maccabi Tel Aviv. His contribution was very important especially in the European qualifying campaigns of the past two years scoring important goals for us. As well as being respected by his colleagues in the dressing room, Nosa was highly regarded by all the coaches who trained him at the club. I am happy for the deal he received which is good both for Nosa and the club especially as his contract at Maccabi runs out in four-months-time”.
