Hamza Abdel Karim
Club: Barcelona
Hamza shortened his vacation to join Barcelona's training under the leadership of Hans Flick, the technical director, at the beginning of the preparation period following the end of his participation in the World Cup wearing the Egyptian national team jersey.
According to the Spanish newspaper "Sport", Hamza Abdel Karim delivered a good performance against Europa in the friendly match during the 45 minutes he played, and his style of playing with his back to the goal and being a number 9 striker makes him a very promising player for Barcelona.
The Catalan club is putting a plan before the start of the season to get the best benefit from the 18-year-old.
The report indicated that Barcelona has a plan for Hamza Abdel Karim to be very close to the first team and train regularly under Flick's leadership and play the role of substitute striker when needed.
He will also return to the reserve team during periods when he does not participate in matches to get more minutes of participation.
It is not unlikely that he will be loaned to one of the Spanish second-division clubs, according to developments.
The report explained that the Egyptian striker showed his talent wearing the youth team jersey by scoring 6 goals in 10 matches.
Hamza joined to participate in the 2026 World Cup under the leadership of Hossam Hassan and played 4 out of 5 matches for 57 minutes, all as a substitute.
The report also revealed that Barcelona is working on signing a striker after the departure of Robert Lewandowski, trying to sign Julian Alvarez from Atletico Madrid, but the negotiations are complicated.
In addition, the future of Ferran Torres remains unknown amid his link to a move to Paris Saint-Germain.
Barcelona is preparing to play a friendly match against Birmingham City during its preparatory camp next week in England.
