Maccabi Netanya Scores Big Signing with Matheus Dabo for Just $140,000
Maccabi Netanya secured Brazilian forward Matheus Dabo last year from Remo, a second-division club in Brazil, for a surprisingly low transfer fee of $140,000. Despite the modest transfer cost, 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 to be a valuable asset for Netanya, notably scoring a hat-trick against Beitar Jerusalem early in his second season with the club. He is currently the leading striker 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 bargain in the Israeli Premier League, where clubs often pay hefty sums for players. Dabo's impact on the field highlights the club's successful investment and raises anticipation for his contributions in the ongoing campaign.
