Tuesday 05-05-2026
The Catalan newspaper 'Sport' highlighted the journey of the young Egyptian talent Hamza Abdel Karim with Barcelona, pointing to the challenges the player faced, such as physical injuries that affected his start with the team.

Despite these difficulties, the player succeeded in strongly attracting attention during the last match for the under-19 team against Monaco, where he scored a remarkable hat-trick within the first half-hour, contributing to a wide victory for his team with a score of nine goals to none, crowning 'Blaugrana' as champions of Group Nine in the Spanish league.

The newspaper explained that Barcelona had signed the player on loan from Al Ahly club during the last winter transfer period for six months, including a clause that allows for a purchase option, where he began his journey with an early goal for the 'Barcelona Athletic' team, before his level relatively declined due to a muscle injury that kept him off the field for a period.

It added that Hamza Abdel Karim, along with his new teammates Onstein, Pacifico, and Tavares, faced similar physical challenges during their adaptation period, but his remarkable brilliance in the youth category match, after participating as a substitute, brought the spotlight back on him as one of the most promising talents within the Catalan club.

The newspaper concluded by noting that the player's future with Barcelona is still pending, awaiting the club's decision on activating the purchase option, in light of the positive indicators he has recently shown.
