Montreal Impact Shows Interest in Israeli Winger Ohad Almogor

Initial Interest Reported

According to a report by Sky Sports, MLS club Montreal Impact has expressed preliminary interest in Ohad Almogor, a 23-year-old winger currently playing for Hapoel Jerusalem. At this stage, the interest is still in its nascent phase, and no formal proposal has been submitted to the Israeli club.

Contractual Situation and Valuation

Almogor is under contract with Hapoel Jerusalem until 2028, with his market value estimated at €400,000 according to Transfermarkt. This season, he has made 12 appearances in the Israeli Premier League, contributing start assist in a total of 483 minutes on the pitch.

Career Development

Almogor’s football journey began at Hapoel Rishon Lezion, where he developed his skills before making a significant move to Hapoel Jerusalem in January 2024. Last season was particularly notable for him, as he participated in 30 league matches, scoring five goals and providing five assists.

MLS Trends with Israeli Players

The interest in Almogor comes amid a trend of Israeli players making moves to Major League Soccer. Recently, Ran Ben-Yamin transferred from Hapoel Tel Aviv to FC Dallas, joining a growing contingent of Israeli talent in the league. This includes players such as Tai Baribo, who recently signed with D.C. United after a stint with Philadelphia Union, and others like Dor Turgeman and Ilay Feingold, who are currently with the New England Revolution, as well as Liel Abda playing for Charlotte FC.

Montreal Impact’s interest in Almogor could signify a strategic move to bolster their squad as they look to capitalize on the vibrant talent emerging from Israeli football.
