Red Star Belgrade Planned to Sell Abu Fani, Luyizus, But No Offers Met Valuation
Serbian club Red Star Belgrade intended to sell midfielder Moamamed Abu Fani and defender Luyizus Luyizus during the recent transfer window, according to Serbian reports. The club aimed to reduce its squad size, ease pressure in the locker room, and cut costs. However, no satisfactory offers were received for the players, who joined the team in the summer.
Abu Fani, formerly of Maccabi Haifa and Hapoel Tel Aviv, and Luyizus were among seven players the club was prepared to let go. Despite the club's desire to move them on, both players are now registered for the Europa Conference League and will remain with Red Star Belgrade.
The club has experienced a difficult start to the season, including elimination from Champions League qualifiers by Hapoel Be'er Sheva and a loss to Viktoria Plzen in the Europa League despite a strong first-leg win. Manager Dejan Stankovic was dismissed following these results.
