FC Barcelona are set to exercise the option to sign Hamza Abdelkarim

The Egyptian forward’s performances have won over the Blaugrana management.

Having arrived on loan this winter from Egypt’s Al Ahly, Hamza Abdelkarim is set to continue his development at Barça Atlètic. With his loan set to expire this summer, the Catalan club intends to exercise the purchase option for the 18-year-old Egyptian player, according to Diario Sport.

FC Barcelona are expected to pay €1.5 million. By deciding to sign Hamza Abdelkarim on a permanent basis, FC Barcelona want to give him the chance to showcase his talent. If he manages to make significant progress, the Egyptian could certainly rise through the ranks at the Catalan club, which is known for promoting young talent.
