The newspaper “Sport” reported that Hamza Abdel-Karim is on the verge of joining Barcelona during the upcoming winter transfer window.
Abdel-Karim is considered one of the most promising talents in Egyptian football and has attracted the attention of several major European clubs in recent months, before Barcelona entered the race with full force in the last few days.
According to the report, Barcelona sent an official offer to Al-Ahly of Egypt to acquire the 17-year-old on loan until the end of the season, with an option to buy in the summer of 2026.
Al-Ahly has already agreed to sell Abdel-Karim and will not stand in the way of this incredible opportunity for the promising player. The Catalan club’s management has also reached an agreement with the Egyptian star on all personal terms.
Unless there are any new developments in the coming hours, everything is expected to be finalized and the contracts signed by all three parties this week.
Bayern Munich and Inter Milan were the clubs most interested in signing Abdel-Karim, but Barcelona’s seriousness and the player’s desire ultimately secured the deal for the Blaugrana. It should be noted that Hamza Abdelkarim will initially join Barcelona B, and if he proves his abilities, he may be promoted to the first team either this season or next season.
