Hapoel Rishon LeZion, currently in the National League, is preparing a significant offer for free agent player Michael Ohana as part of their ambition to be promoted to the Premier League. The club's new sponsors and co-managers, Dudu and Natali Vaturi, who recently invested 650,000 shekels in the team and facilitated the signing of former Maccabi Petah Tikva captain Mohamed Hindi, are driving this initiative.
The Vaturis have expressed interest in signing either Rotem Hatuel or Michael Ohana. Coach Elad Brown ultimately favored pursuing Ohana. The club plans to contact Ohana this week. Ohana, who finished his tenure with Maccabi Haifa last season, has not yet signed with any team and has reportedly received interest from Hapoel Tiberias and other National League clubs, but no deal has materialized.
While MS Ashdod, Ohana's youth club, has also made a substantial offer, negotiations have stalled. Rishon LeZion is now making a strong push to secure Ohana's signature. Ohana has publicly stated his desire to play in the Premier League, but is awaiting a suitable offer.
A source close to the Vaturi family stated that Dudu Vaturi will approach Ohana this week. If the player is willing and his financial demands are reasonable, he will join Rishon LeZion. The source added that Dudu believes a player of Ohana's caliber can re-engage the team's dormant fanbase and help achieve their goal of promotion to the Premier League this season.
