Serie A Scouts Target Maccabi Tel Aviv's Said Abu Farhi in Champions League Clash

Said Abu Farhi, the 20-year-old striker for Maccabi Tel Aviv, is attracting significant interest from European clubs, including two Serie A teams, Genoa and Torino. These clubs plan to send scouts to watch Abu Farhi play in Maccabi Tel Aviv's upcoming Champions League match against Sheriff Tiraspol in Georgia on Thursday at 19:00. Abu Farhi has started the season strongly, scoring two braces: one against Hapoel Be'er Sheva in the Champion of Champions Cup and another last Thursday against Sheriff Tiraspol in Moldova.

His name is already on the radar of several European clubs and Major League Soccer teams in the United States. However, Maccabi Tel Aviv has set a high asking price of around six million euros, similar to the valuation they placed on Dor Turgeman. While Genoa and Torino have been monitoring Abu Farhi for some time, other German clubs are also interested. Despite this attention, Maccabi Tel Aviv is not in a hurry to sell, even after recently signing Slovenian striker Ester Sokler.

The club's strategy indicates they see Abu Farhi as a valuable asset and are prepared to wait for an offer that meets their valuation. The upcoming match against Sheriff Tiraspol will be a key opportunity for scouts to evaluate his performance at a high level of competition.
