Rishon LeZion FC, currently in the National League, is aiming to sign free agent midfielder Michael Ohana as part of a significant investment by new sponsors Dudu and Natali Vaturi. The Vaturis, who recently finalized a deal to invest 650,000 shekels in the club, are eager to strengthen the team for a promotion bid to the Premier League.
Following the signing of former Maccabi Petah Tikva captain Mohamed Hindi, who is expected to debut soon, the Vaturis discussed potential targets with club officials. Coach Elad Braun ultimately favored pursuing Ohana over Rotem Hatuel. Rishon LeZion plans to approach Ohana this week.
Ohana, who previously played for Maccabi Haifa, has not yet signed with a team for the upcoming season. He has attracted interest from other National League clubs, including Hapoel Tiberias and Hapoel Petah Tikva, but no agreement has been reached. His former club, MS Ashdod, has reportedly made a substantial offer, but negotiations have stalled.
Ohana has expressed a desire to play in the Premier League, but has not yet received an offer that meets his expectations. A source close to the Vaturi family stated that if Ohana is interested and his financial demands are reasonable, he will join Rishon LeZion. The Vaturis believe Ohana's caliber of play can help draw fans back to the stadium and contribute to the team's promotion goal.
