Hamza Abdel Karim

In January 2026, reports described a loan-to-buy agreement for Hamza Abdel Karim with a €1.5 million purchase option, potentially mandatory, and variables that could reach €5 million. A separate report mentioned a stalled loan deal valued at €5 million plus bonuses. During December 2025, Al Ahly's asking price was consistently reported as €5 million. In contrast, Barcelona's offers were reported to have started around €1.25-€1.8 million before being raised to €2 million. Several reports at that time also suggested a deal was close for a fee of around €2 million.

Our valuation for Hamza Abdel Karim is driven by the extensive and detailed reporting on negotiations between Al Ahly and FC Barcelona. The range is anchored by the frequently reported purchase option of €1.5 million at the low end and Al Ahly's consistent €5 million asking price (or total package value with variables) at the high end. The estimate of €2 million reflects reports of Barcelona's final offers and a likely direct transfer fee, representing a probable compromise on the guaranteed portion of the deal.
