Two Israeli footballers, Sayed Abu Farhi and Dor Turgeman, have been recognized among the top 10 most valuable players in Major League Soccer (MLS) by the International Center for Sports Studies (CIES). The MLS season is nearing its crucial stages with only six regular-season matches remaining.
Abu Farhi is ranked eighth with an estimated transfer value of 16.16 million euros. This represents a significant increase from his transfer from Maccabi Tel Aviv to the Colorado Rapids last summer for 5.5 million euros, nearly tripling his value in a short period.
Turgeman is ranked tenth, with an estimated transfer value of 15.94 million euros. He was also sold by Maccabi Tel Aviv to the New England Revolution about a year ago for 4.7 million euros, and his value has more than tripled according to the CIES model, reflecting his strong performance in the American league.
The CIES ranking places New York Red Bulls forward Julian Hols at the top with an estimated value of 20.02 million euros. He is followed by 17-year-old American player Kavian Sullivan in second place (19.39 million euros) and South African player Mbakaazi in third (19.37 million euros). Other players in the top ten include Briel Embolo (fourth, 19.29 million euros), Telesco Segovia (fifth, 17.13 million euros), Adri Mathei (sixth, 16.73 million euros), Beni Traore (seventh, 16.33 million euros), and Luigi Sousa (ninth, 16 million euros).
The inclusion of both Abu Farhi and Turgeman in the top ten highlights the substantial professional and economic recognition they are gaining in the American soccer landscape.
