Maccabi Netanya Scores Big Signing with Matheus Dabo for Just $140,000
Maccabi Netanya secured a major bargain last year by acquiring striker Matheus Dabo from Remo, a second-division Brazilian club, for only $140,000. Despite the modest transfer fee, Dabo now earns a relatively high salary of approximately 400,000 euros per season, a figure that larger clubs can afford comfortably.
Dabo has quickly proven his value, notably scoring a hat-trick against Beitar Jerusalem early in his second season with Netanya. He is currently the leading forward under coach Roni Levy and is expected to continue delivering strong performances throughout the season. Netanya also holds an option to extend his contract for another year.
This signing exemplifies a successful investment, especially compared to other clubs that pay significantly more for players. Dabo’s impact highlights the potential for smaller clubs to find valuable talent at a fraction of the usual cost.
