Media reports have revealed that FC Barcelona has finalized a new deal to strengthen the ranks of La Masia or the “Atletic” team, several months after signing Hamza Abdul Karim.
Hamza Abdul Karim’s experience at Barcelona has been successful. The player joined the Blaugrana at the beginning of the year on loan from Al Ahly, before the transfer became permanent.
Hamza Abdul Karim shone for Barcelona’s Under-19 team over the past few months. The 18-year-old was originally set to play for Barcelona Atletic this season, but his impressive performance during the pre-season convinced manager Hans Flick to keep him with the first team.

He clarified that Baza, who is the cousin of Germany and Bayern Munich defender Jonathan Tah, will sign a three-year contract with Barcelona, valid until the end of June 2029.
Barcelona’s academy has been distinguished in recent years, producing many outstanding players. The Blaugrana also signed another young player this summer, Jesse Bessieu, who came from Club Brugge.
