Maccabi Tel Aviv striker Sayd Abu Fani, 20, has officially bid farewell to the club following his transfer to Colorado Rapids in Major League Soccer. Abu Fani posted an emotional message on Instagram, thanking the club, coaches, teammates, and fans for their support during his time there. The transfer is reportedly worth $6 million, with an additional $1 million in bonuses and a 25% sell-on clause.
Abu Fani's departure coincides with the finalized transfer of left-back Roy Revivo to Spanish club Elche. With Revivo's move to Spain confirmed, Maccabi Tel Aviv is now prioritizing the signing of a new left-back.
