"In a major development, SPORT reports that the signing of Hamza Abdelkarim by Barcelona will be made official in the coming days. The Catalan club and Al Ahly have already reached an agreement and have overcome the final obstacle that was delaying approval of the deal: the financial terms. Everything is now in place for the young Egyptian player to become the latest addition to the Blaugrana reserve side for the second half of the season. In fact, he is expected to travel to Barcelona later this week."
"The cost of the loan will be €1.5 million, payable by Barcelona once Abdelkarim has played five matches with the reserve team. In addition, there could be up to a further €5 million in add-ons linked to performance-related bonuses. These incentives would be based on factors such as the number of appearances for Barcelona's first team, goals scored and other sporting objectives. They would not be limited to the first year, but would extend throughout the full duration of the contract he signs with the club, thus guaranteeing Al Ahly a potentially significant financial return if all the variables are met."
Barcelona and Al Ahly have agreed a loan for Hamza Abdelkarim that will be made official in the coming days, with the player expected to travel to Barcelona this week. The loan includes a €1.5 million payment triggered after five reserve-team appearances and up to €5 million in add-ons tied to appearances, goals and other sporting objectives. Those add-ons apply across the full duration of the contract Abdelkarim signs, potentially boosting Al Ahly's return. Barcelona pursued the signing after reserve-team striker injuries and interest following Abdelkarim's U17 World Cup performances. The player accepted a one-year extension before the loan.
