Rumor: Israeli clubs circling Omer Damari

Omer Damari had the unfortunate distinction of being the first player cut from the 2016 roster. As the New York Red Bulls moved reluctantly into off-season mode, Sporting Director Ali Curtis confirmed the forward would be returning to RB Leipzig - from whence he came on loan.

Damari is the first player to have appeared for RBs Leipzig, Salzburg, and NY - and the first to have not been particularly successful at any of them.

Successful or not, there was no suggestion that he was ever going to stay at RBNY longer than the tenure of his loan, which was simply to the end of the 2016 MLS season.
