Shimon Abuhatzira Predicts Son Yarin Will Sell for Millions of Euros

Yarin Abuhatzira, a promising young football talent from Netanya, is already attracting significant attention despite being under 16. His father, former striker Shimon Abuhatzira, spoke to Sport 5 on July 22, 2026, about Yarin's development and future prospects. Yarin was recently invited to Maccabi Netanya's training camp in Poland, where he scored twice for the senior team, heightening expectations for his official debut.

Shimon emphasized that the family anticipated Yarin's success, having prepared him since age nine. He described Yarin as tough, knowledgeable about the sport, and mature beyond his years, having played with older age groups since he was 14. The father confirmed ongoing positive talks with Maccabi Netanya and stressed the importance of patience and composure in managing Yarin's career.

Regarding Yarin's integration into the senior team, Shimon praised coach Roni Levy's professional and European-style approach, noting Yarin's hard work and commitment. He also projected that if an offer of 3-4 million euros arrives, Maccabi Netanya would likely accept, allowing the club to benefit financially. Shimon advised his son that regardless of talent, continuous effort and fighting spirit are essential. He expressed confidence that Yarin will soon play several consecutive matches and that his potential will become clear to the public.
