Omri Casspi is returning to Maccabi Tel Aviv, David Federman, one of the club's owners said in an interview on Saturday.

"We are really in advanced negotiations with Casspi and for a number of weeks we have been contemplating how to act. Assuming Omri wants to play in Europe, it will be with us," Federman said.

Maccabi Tel Aviv offered Casspi a contract of $40,000 per month until the lockout is resolved.
