Maccabi Tel Aviv Sets High Price for Striker Sayid Abu Farhi Amid Growing Interest

Sayid Abu Farhi has started the 2026/2027 season impressively, scoring two goals against Be'er Sheva in the Aluf HaAlim and another two against Sheriff Tiraspol. His strong performances have attracted increasing attention from scouts across Europe. Ahead of the Thursday match against Sheriff, several scouts are expected to attend, including confirmed representatives from Italian club Genoa and possibly Torino, as well as scouts from the Russian league.

This scouting is preliminary, and while interest is growing, a summer transfer seems unlikely due to Maccabi Tel Aviv's high asking price. Given Abu Farhi's talent and young age, the club has set a price around seven million euros. Additionally, the player is expected to target a move to Major League Soccer (MLS) in January, which is his preferred destination financially.

Maccabi Tel Aviv aims to keep Abu Farhi for another season to benefit from his contributions before considering a sale. The club is closely monitoring the situation as interest from various leagues continues to build.
