Portland Timbers are targeting Dor Turgeman, an Israeli international forward from Maccabi Tel Aviv, for a U-22 initiative slot. Turgeman has made 7 appearances for Israel and has accumulated 9 goals and 4 assists in 1400 minutes this season. Journalist Tom Bogert reported that the Timbers are in the process of securing Turgeman's transfer, alongside their ongoing advanced negotiations with Shakhtar Donetsk for forward Kevin Kelsy. At 21 years old, Turgeman could join the Timbers as part of their strategic recruitment for young talent.
