Shock from Israel: Hapoel Prepares Huge Offer for Zvezda's Star Player!

Jordan Nwora was one of Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet's best players last season. The Nigerian had a stellar year, and it's natural that Europe's wealthiest clubs are inquiring about him, with Hapoel Tel Aviv leading the charge.

News from Israel indicates that Hapoel Tel Aviv is prepared to offer a substantial sum for Jordan Nwora. It's worth noting that the Nigerian forward has an NBA out-clause, meaning he can leave without a buyout if an NBA team signs him. Otherwise, a transfer fee would be required.

According to "Sport 5," Hapoel is ready to pay the one-million-dollar buyout clause for one of last year's top performers for the red-and-whites.

While Hapoel battles for the domestic league title in the playoffs, the club is already actively working on assembling its roster for the upcoming season. One of the biggest names on their wish list is Crvena Zvezda's forward, Jordan Nwora. Although Nwora's contract with Crvena Zvezda includes an option to extend for another season, Hapoel has made it clear to his agent that they are willing to pay a transfer fee to the Serbian club should Zvezda activate that option. The Israeli club is aware that Nwora will be one of the most sought-after players on the market if he becomes a free agent, and they want to get ahead of the competition. Therefore, Hapoel is prepared to finalize the deal through various means, including the possibility of allocating up to one million dollars for his contract buyout.

Last season in the EuroLeague, Nwora averaged 16.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists for Zvezda.
