Israeli forward Dor Turgeman scored twice for the New England Revolution in their 3-2 victory over Cincinnati in Major League Soccer (MLS) on Wednesday night, securing a playoff spot for his team. This performance could also benefit his former club, Maccabi Tel Aviv, potentially earning them hundreds of thousands of dollars more due to Turgeman's goal-scoring achievements.

Under the terms of Turgeman's transfer in the summer of 2025, Maccabi Tel Aviv initially received $6 million, with additional bonus clauses tied to performance targets and a 25% sell-on fee. Turgeman is under contract with New England until the end of the 2028 season, with an option for an additional year. The deal includes bonuses for Turgeman reaching goal milestones: $500,000 for ten goals in a season and a total of $1 million for fifteen goals.

With his brace against Cincinnati, Turgeman now has nine goals this season. One more goal will bring Maccabi Tel Aviv closer to the first $500,000 bonus. Reaching fifteen goals could further increase the total compensation for the Israeli club. Turgeman, who came through Maccabi Tel Aviv's youth system, played 114 games for the senior team, scoring 32 goals and providing ten assists, and won two league titles.

His move to the US presented new challenges, and he had limited games to score in the 2025 season. Now, with his team in the playoffs, he has more opportunities to increase his tally. Turgeman's recent success could prove significant for Maccabi Tel Aviv, as his continued scoring and meeting contract targets could boost the initial $6 million transfer fee. He is currently one goal away from the first milestone, and the remainder of the season will determine if Maccabi Tel Aviv receives the additional bonuses.
