Maccabi Tel Aviv Striker Abu Farhi Signs Four-Year Deal with Colorado Rapids
Maccabi Tel Aviv striker Said Abu Farhi has arrived in the United States accompanied by his agent, attorney Shahar Greenberg, to finalize his transfer to Major League Soccer club Colorado Rapids. The deal, led by Greenberg, involves a significant financial arrangement whereby Colorado Rapids will pay Maccabi Tel Aviv $6 million plus bonuses and a percentage of any future transfer fee, allowing Maccabi to benefit from Abu Farhi's potential career growth.
Abu Farhi is expected to sign a four-year contract with the Rapids, earning the maximum salary allowed under his MLS registration category, approximately $800,000 gross per season, along with substantial performance bonuses. Additionally, Abu Farhi himself will retain a share of any future transfer profits, ensuring he benefits financially if Colorado becomes a stepping stone in his career.
This transfer comes just before Maccabi Tel Aviv's return leg match against Lugano in the Conference League playoffs, for which Abu Farhi will be unavailable. The move marks a major step in Abu Farhi's career and a significant financial boost for Maccabi Tel Aviv.
