Summary
Barcelona just inked a massive 115 million dollar release clause deal with 18-year-old striker Hamza Abdelkarim, the first Egyptian to ever play for the club — and he’s already making waves. Signed for just 1.7 million from Al Ahly, he exploded in preseason with four goals, debuted in August, and is being compared to Erling Haaland — even earning the nickname “Haaland of the Nile.” Standing over six feet tall, he’s a physical presence with poacher instincts and the ability to score from anywhere. With Lewandowski gone, Barcelona sees him as their next true number nine — and they’re betting big on his future.
