"According to Egyptian news outlet FilGoal, Barcelona are in advanced talks to sign Hamza Abdelkarim. The youngster currently plies his trade for one of Egypt's biggest clubs in Al Ahly, and was a regular for the Egyptian U17 team. At the age of just 17, Abdelkarim has already featured in four competitive matches for Al Ahly, but his future appears to be in Europe."
"Talks between the two clubs have been going on for a while now, but Barcelona's initial loan-to-buy proposals had been shot down by Al Ahly. However, the report suggests Al Ahly are happy with Barcelona's latest offer for the young forward as it meets the club's demands. Therefore, it could only be a matter of time before the youngster joins the club."
Barcelona are pursuing 17-year-old Egyptian forward Hamza Abdelkarim as a youth recruitment target. Abdelkarim currently plays for Al Ahly and has been a regular for Egypt's U17 team. He has already appeared in four competitive matches for Al Ahly. Negotiations between Al Ahly and Barcelona have been ongoing after earlier loan-to-buy proposals were rejected. Al Ahly reportedly accept Barcelona's latest offer, which matches their demands. The plan is for Abdelkarim to join Barça Atletic rather than the first team to address a striker shortage caused by injuries.
