Speculation surrounds the future of Mohammad Abu Fani and potential return to Israeli football

The future of midfielder Mohammad Abu Fani at Red Star Belgrade remains uncertain. Amid reports that the Serbian club is considering offloading players, speculation has emerged regarding a potential return for Abu Fani to the Israeli Premier League, with Maccabi Haifa mentioned as a possible destination. However, sources close to the player have denied these claims, stating that he is currently uninterested in returning to Israel and intends to remain with Red Star. During the 'Me'al HaLiga' podcast on Sport 1, analysts discussed the situation. Sport 1 reporter Ofir Saar noted that given the volatility at Red Star, it would not be surprising if Abu Fani were among those released. Gil Kanel, another contributor, dismissed the possibility of a move to Maccabi Tel Aviv, citing years of hostile interactions with the club's supporters, and suggested that if he were to return to Israel, it would likely be to Maccabi Haifa or Hapoel Be'er Sheva. Analysts further suggested that if Abu Fani leaves Red Star in the coming weeks, he may prioritize lucrative contracts in markets such as Turkey, the UAE, or Japan to secure his financial future before considering a return to the domestic league.
