Hapoel Haifa FC Confirms Alon Turgeman Staying Through Season

Hapoel Haifa Football Club has officially announced that striker Alon Turgeman will remain with the team at least until the end of the current season, aiming to quell speculation about his future. This comes amid reported interest from Maccabi Tel Aviv.

The club emphasized that Turgeman is a key player and central figure in their squad, with significant professional importance. Club owner Yoav Katz praised Turgeman not only for his skills on the field but also for his character and positive contribution to the locker room atmosphere.

"Alon is a great striker and an even greater person," Katz stated, adding that Turgeman is part of the team's plans for what he believes could be a special season. The owner's statement serves to clarify that despite external interest, the club is not inclined to part with one of its senior players.

Following training, the team held a festive Rosh Hashanah (Jewish New Year) gathering. Players and staff celebrated the holiday together. Although unable to attend in person, Katz sent a video message to the club, sponsors, and fans, wishing everyone a happy new year.

Hapoel Haifa hopes to move past the transfer rumors and focus on their professional goals, with the clear message being that Turgeman will remain with the club until the season concludes.
