Israel national team forward Nimrod Levy is expected to officially leave his Turkish team Samsunspor soon.
Wow!
Sport learned that in the run-up to the national team window next week, Levy returned to Israel in recent days, as he is in talks with the Turks to end the contract due to the difficult situation he is in recently with the security situation.
Meanwhile he is in Israel.

Levy's hope is to find another team in Europe in the near future, as over the past two months several teams have been interested in the possibility of joining him, also thanks to the Swedish passport he holds.
Who else tried to sign the player in the last few weeks was Hapoel Eilat, the leader of the Premier League, and even made Levy an impressive financial offer, but the player prefers to stay in Europe.
Several other teams are considered candidates to take him in, including Hapoel Jerusalem and Hapoel Tel Aviv.
Levy (28, 2.08) is one of the leading players in Israeli basketball in recent years, when until the last season he excelled for two years in the Hapoel Galil Upper uniform and was even selected as the season's outstanding.
In the summer, he was able to realize his desire to go to Europe and signed with Samsonspor, but the team did not succeed professionally and ranked last in Turkey with only three wins from 20 games.
Levy, on the other hand, is having a good professional season with 12.2 points and 5.6 rebounds per game.
His best game was against Topash Bursa last month when he scored 24 points and added 5 rebounds, in Samsonspor's last win.
