Maccabi Haifa showed interest in bringing back Mohammed Abu Fani. His friend stated that he informed Maccabi Haifa a month ago that he wanted to stay in Europe and would not return to Israel after two years abroad. There were earlier approaches but a serious offer from Maccabi Haifa only arrived two days before the transfer window closed. Ferencváros asked for a high price that clubs could not pay. Both player and club wanted a transfer before the window closed, but it did not happen. The price is expected to drop by January, when a move may become possible.

Mohammed Abu Fani declared at a community event that he will stay at Ferencváros. However, a change could occur if an enticing offer comes before the Hungarian transfer window closes on September 3. He has been training individually for two weeks but hasn't joined the team training yet. No official offer has been received yet. Maccabi Haifa in Israel sees him not just as an economic or professional asset, but as a multidimensional value that provides identity and leadership, potentially taking on the captain's role.

Maccabi Haifa fans were hoping for Mohammed Abu Fani's return, but it seems unlikely as they cannot afford the 3-3.5 million euros that Ferencváros is reportedly willing to accept for his transfer.

Maccabi Haifa was considering buying back Mohammed Abu Fani, but the Israeli club decided against it due to Ferencváros' price tag of 2.5 million euros. The decision was influenced by the ongoing interest from multiple foreign clubs in Abu Fani, with one club reportedly close to making an official offer for the Ferencváros midfielder. This development has led Maccabi Haifa to reconsider their plan, as they opted not to meet the financial demands set by Ferencváros. Additionally, Transfermarkt currently estimates Abu Fani's market worth at 4.50 million euros.
