German club backs out of signing Israel striker after fan backlash
Fortuna Dusseldorf has withdrawn from signing Israeli striker Shon Weissman following significant backlash from the club's fanbase. Weissman, who was poised to transfer from Granada in Spain, will no longer be joining the German second-tier team. The club cited concerns about the negative reaction as the primary reason for reversing the decision. The move was initially met with criticism due to Weissman's nationality and perceived political associations. The club is now seeking alternative options to bolster their attacking line ahead of the upcoming season.
