Maccabi Haifa Shows Interest in Israeli Midfielder Mohammed Abu Fani Amid Red Star Belgrade Exit Reports
Three years after leaving Maccabi Haifa, Israeli midfielder Mohammed Abu Fani is reportedly close to departing Red Star Belgrade. Serbian media outlet Sportklub reported on August 16, 2026, that Abu Fani's exit is likely due to disappointing performances, particularly in two Champions League qualifying matches against Hapoel Be'er Sheva. Abu Fani originally joined Red Star under coach Dejan Stanković, who is no longer with the club. Maccabi Haifa is reportedly interested in re-signing Abu Fani during the current transfer window, potentially marking a comeback for the player at his former club. This development comes just two months after Abu Fani signed with Red Star, highlighting a swift change in his standing at the Serbian club.
