Hamza Abdelkarim, an 18-year-old Egyptian forward, is in negotiations with the Barcelona transfer market to improve his contract and raise his release clause from 15 to 150 million euros. The Blaugrana club has already been in contact with Christian Emile, the player's agent, this week to move forward with the agreement.

Hamza Abdelkarim speeds up his renewal with Barcelona

Barcelona considers it a priority to amend Hamza's terms after his breakthrough into the first team. The forward currently has a contract until June 30, 2029, signed after his definitive arrival from Al Ahly.

The purchase deal was finalized in June 2026 for 1.5 million euros plus variables, an amount that included an option agreed upon during his loan spell in the final stretch of the previous season. Barça then executed the definitive signing and extended his contract until 2029.

The issue for the Catalan entity now lies in the clause. The 15 million euros set in the contract are considered too low after the attacker's development, so the intention is to raise it to 150 million.

The proposed figure would increase the current release clause tenfold. The change would also come with an improvement in the player's financial terms, although the new salary has not been disclosed.

Egypt has a new representative at Barça

Hamza arrived at Barcelona in February 2026 on loan from Al Ahly and made an immediate impact with the Juvenil A team. He played 9 league games and scored 6 goals, in addition to participating in 2 Copa del Rey matches.

His performance in the preseason under Hansi Flick further elevated his prominence. The Egyptian finished as Barcelona's top scorer with 4 goals, including two against Birmingham City and one against Al Ahly in the Trofeu Joan Gamper.

His progression also reached official football on August 31 when he debuted for the first team against Rayo Vallecano. Hamza thus became the first Egyptian player in Barcelona's history and the third from Egypt to play a LaLiga match.

The club has taken another step to solidify its commitment. Hamza is listed in Barcelona's Champions League 2026/27 A-list with the number 29 after his official competition debut. The team's first European match will be on September 9 against Feyenoord.

Hamza's situation is also influenced by the competition in the attack. The arrival of Gabriel Jesus adds another forward to Flick's team, but the Egyptian's performance has allowed him to remain with the first team and be part of immediate sporting plans.

Barcelona's next goal is now to finalize the renewal of Hamza Abdelkarim and replace the 15 million clause as soon as possible with one of 150 million euros. Discussions with Christian Emile are already underway, and the club aims to make this protection the next step in his progression.
