Flick Considers Calling Up Hamza Abdelkarim to Barcelona Preparations

Barcelona's head coach, Hans Flick, is considering including the Egyptian talent Hamza Abdel Karim in the first team's preparations for the new season, following the impressive performances the player has shown with the club's youth teams.

According to the Spanish newspaper "Marca," Barcelona is preparing to activate the option to purchase the player from the Egyptian club Al Ahly for 1.5 million euros, in addition to a set of variables and incentives linked to his performance and development in the coming years.

The sports management within the club believes in Hamza Abdul Karim's potential, as he is seen as one of the most promising projects for the near future, having attracted attention with his technical performance and great abilities during his participation with youth teams.

The strong performances delivered by the player have given him an additional boost on the international stage, as the head coach of the Egyptian national team, Hossam Hassan, decided to call him up to participate with the Pharaohs in the 2026 World Cup, in a move that reflects the growing confidence in his abilities despite his young age.

The player is expected to have the opportunity to prove himself during the summer preparation period. However, it will be difficult for the young player to participate regularly with the first team in the upcoming period due to the strong competition within the Catalan club.
