"According to Diario SPORT, Barcelona are currently reviewing the final documentation before authorising the arrival of the 18-year-old talent after reaching an agreement with Al Ahly. The operation, which was at risk of collapsing due to missing paperwork and contract disputes, has been finally ratified. The key resolution involves Abdelkarim's contract status, with the player agreeing to renew for an additional season with Al Ahly."
"The operation is expected to cost around €3 million, plus €5 million in variables. With the agreement between the clubs settled, the only remaining hurdle is Financial Fair Play. Although it is a loan, the salary mass must be accounted for. The imminent departure of Mamadou Mbacke Fall is expected to generate the necessary margin to register the forward. Once the final signatures are done, Abdelkarim will travel to Barcelona to join Juliano Belletti's squad."
"It was reported on Sunday that Barcelona are facing hiccups in their pursuit of Hamza Abdelkarim, the young attacker regarded as the next big thing in Egyptian football. But after constant back and forth due to bureaucratic delays, it appears Barcelona have finally reached an agreement with Al Ahly and appear on the verge of signing the player. Big breakthrough for Barcelona"
Barcelona have reached agreement with Al Ahly to sign 18-year-old forward Hamza Abdelkarim on a loan with a purchase option after resolving bureaucratic delays and documentation issues. Abdelkarim agreed to renew his contract with Al Ahly for an additional season so the Egyptian club retains control if Barcelona do not exercise the option. The deal is worth around €3 million plus €5 million in variables. Financial Fair Play remains the final hurdle because the loan's salary mass must be registered; Mamadou Mbacke Fall's imminent departure should create the necessary margin. Abdelkarim will join Juliano Belletti's Barça Atletic and bolster an attack weakened by injuries.
