A few days ago, the Al Ahly advanced the agreement with the Barcelona for the transfer of the young Egyptian attacker, which the Catalan entity has not yet confirmed. The culé club will do it in the next few days. To the Barça It only took him four months to decide to execute the purchase option he had on it. There was total agreement and consensus for his incorporation, due to the forward’s football conditions and his overwhelming personality. In addition to his great Barcelona fandom.
The 18-year-old international arrived in culé training football in February, Barcelona Youth A. In just four months, he took part in 11 games and scored eight goals, including League and Champions Cup. The coaches were convinced that he would succeed and fit into the Barça style and the locker room. And so he did. Hence his signing: it confirmed his qualities, his personality and his great capacity for adaptation and learning. And his commitment to the club.
The forward is used to going through stages quickly and bravely facing challenges, which is why at the age of 17 he was already part of the first team of the most important club in Egypt and one of the most prominent of Africaand that at 18 he is about to sign for the Barça, who is disputing the World with the senior team of his country and that he will wear the number 9 of his national team in the national team tournament.
Path
Hamza Abdelkarim stood out in the Under 17 World Cup played last November (he had already participated in the African Cup). He started in all four games Egyptin which he scored two goals, gave an assist and wore the armband in the match against England. In that tournament held in Taste, He finished confirming not only his great football talent (definition, ability to unmark, mobility, shooting…) but also his leadership skills and ambition, which are not at odds with the humility and certain introversion that also characterize him.
The ambidextrous center forward had already made the leap a few months earlier, in the summer and at only 17 years old, to the first team of the Al Ahly, which is the most important club in Egypt and one of the most prominent on the entire African continent. Before its transfer to Barçahad participated in nine meetings with the block of Cairo. The pressure and high expectations placed on him could not cope.
The international assumed his promotion with demand and responsibility, as well as his loan to the Barcelonaa club of which he was a follower since he was little, hence his satisfaction at joining the culé team and his maximum efforts to adapt to the Barcelona City and to the game and the Barça dressing room. And he got it. Whenever he can, he flaunts his Barcelona fandom, which his colleagues applaud, as well as his talent, complicity and camaraderie.

Preseason with Flick
The young attacker learned that the Barça was going to execute the purchase option agreed upon in the January transfer, of 1.5 million euros (plus variables), concentrated with the senior team of Egyptwhich opens this day against Belgium. He entered the African country’s list despite being 18 years old and having only played, a few days before the call, five minutes with the team. Hossam Hassan: participated in a friendly against Russia on May 28. The coach was aware of his qualities and also of his mental capacity to take on great challenges. Another example of his great personality is that he will wear the number 9 in the World.
The Egyptian coach also gave him minutes and prominence in the friendly match on the 7th against Brazil, after which t-shirts were exchanged with Raphinha despite the fact that they did not coincide on the field of play. It is very likely, however, that they will soon share a dressing room: the idea of flick is that it adds to the preseason.
