Protect at all costs! Barcelona submit official bid for Egyptian wonderkid as Al Ahly fights to block transfer

The Egyptian club is unwilling to let their wonderkid leave for Barcelona.

Details: According to DiarioAS, Catalan side Barcelona have made an official offer for Al Ahly’s 17-year-old forward Hamza Abdelkarim. However, the Egyptian club is staunchly opposed to the deal.

Barcelona’s management believes Abdelkarim could be the long-term, high-quality solution to their centre-forward issue and want to sign the young Egyptian as early as this winter.

Abdelkarim himself has made up his mind and is ready to move to Barcelona on January 1, when he turns 18, but his club is doing everything possible to block the transfer.

This season, Hamza Abdelkarim has played one match for Al Ahly but has yet to register a goal or an assist.

According to Transfermarkt, his market value is estimated at €100,000.
