Barcelona secure Abdelkarim with long‑term deal through 2030

Barcelona have extended Hamza Abdelkarim’s contract until 2030, rewarding the 19‑year‑old Egyptian for a standout start that has exceeded Hansi Flick’s expectations. Seen as a key long‑term investment for the club’s attack, Abdelkarim has already shown flashes of high‑level potential since making his senior debut on 31 August against Rayo Vallecano at Camp Nou.

Barça plan to keep him in the first‑team squad as Flick’s third‑choice centre‑forward, underlining their belief in his development and future impact. The formal signing ceremony is scheduled for 15 September at 17:00, with president Joan Laporta in attendance before Abdelkarim meets the media. The extension signals Barcelona’s intention to build around emerging talent and confirms Abdelkarim as one of the most intriguing prospects in their current project.
