"Barcelona are moving steadily towards securing the arrival of one of Egyptian football's most exciting young prospects. According to a report from SPORT, Hamza Abdelkarim is on the verge of renewing his contract with Al Ahly before completing a loan move to Barcelona. The operation has now entered a decisive phase after weeks of background work by Barcelona's sporting department."
"Barcelona would have the option to sign Abdelkarim permanently for €1.5 million once the loan ends in June. In addition to that fixed fee, the agreement includes up to €5 million in performance-based variables, which could significantly increase the total value of the deal. Those bonuses would be linked to sporting milestones such as appearances with Barcelona's first team, goals scored, and other performance objectives."
"Al Ahly are expected to finalise a new four-year contract for the youngster in the coming days. This renewal is seen as a crucial step before approving his temporary departure to Barcelona. From the Egyptian club's perspective, extending Abdelkarim's deal protects their sporting and financial interests in case he returns after the loan spell. Negotiations between the player and Al Ahly are understood to be at an advanced stage, with all parties confident that an agreement will be reached."
Hamza Abdelkarim is poised to sign a new long-term contract with Al Ahly before moving to Barcelona on a temporary loan. Barcelona identified Abdelkarim as a development project and accelerated talks after extensive scouting and internal work. The proposed Al Ahly renewal would span four years to protect the club’s sporting and financial interests during and after the loan. Barcelona would hold a €1.5 million purchase option at loan end, plus up to €5 million in performance-based bonuses tied to appearances, goals and other milestones that would apply across the potential Camp Nou contract.
