Barcelona are preparing to promote Hamza Abdelkarim in Catalonia after his January loan from Al Ahly sparked a fast youth-team rise.
The first thing that caught Barcelona’s eye was not just the goals. It was the way Hamza Abdelkarim moved inside the box.
A hat-trick that changed the tone
Hamza’s breakout moment came with Barcelona’s Juvenil A side where he scored three goal in a ruthless 9-0 win over Monte Carlo.
That performance did more than decorate the scoreline. It helped Barcelona’s youth team move to the top of Group Three in the Primera División.
The scars of failed academy bets always hang around a club like Barcelona. They do not promote every bright youngster because of one performance. They look for profile, habits and fit.
Hamza is ticking those boxes.

Why Barcelona see something different
What separates Hamza is his presence in the penalty area. He looks like a forward who understands where danger lives. That instinct cannot be faked for long.
He has also adapted quickly to Barcelona’s youth structure, a system that demands more than finishing. Movement, pressing, timing, control under pressure — all of it matters.
That fast adjustment has pushed the club toward a possible promotion to Barcelona Atlètic, the reserve team.
The Al Ahly decision still waits
According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have not made the final call yet.
The club are studying whether to activate the purchase option in Hamza’s loan agreement. That clause would see Al Ahly receive €1.5 million.
No decision has been taken. But his steady development has made him a serious candidate to move up if Barcelona choose to buy him permanently.
