How much did Colorado Rapids pay to sign Sayed Abu Farchi, and what are the terms of his contract?
Colorado Rapids made one of their bigger signings in club history when they brought in Sayed Abu Farchi from Maccabi Tel Aviv. Here’s what’s actually known about the money and the length of the deal.
The transfer fee
Colorado Rapids signed Abu Farchi from Maccabi Tel Aviv on September 1, 2026, for a reported $6 million. That figure is described as a reported fee rather than a club-confirmed number, so treat it as the widely cited figure rather than an official, itemized transfer amount.
Contract length
Abu Farchi’s contract runs through the 2029–30 season, with a club option for 2030–31. In practice, that means:
- Guaranteed term: through 2029–30
- Extra year: a 2030–31 option, which would be exercised at the club’s discretion rather than automatically
Where he fits at the club
Abu Farchi, a 20-year-old forward, wears number 9 for Colorado Rapids. He came up through Maccabi Tel Aviv’s youth system and had loan spells at Kafr Qasim and Maccabi Bnei Reineh before the move to MLS.
What’s not confirmed
The $6 million figure is a reported number, not a figure Colorado Rapids or Maccabi Tel Aviv has broken down publicly in the material available here — there’s no confirmed breakdown of add-ons, sell-on clauses, or payment structure. If you need the exact, official terms, check Colorado Rapids’ or MLS’s own announcement, since transfer details like this are sometimes updated or clarified after the initial reporting.
