Hamza Abdel Karim

In September 2026, reports indicated Hamza Abdel Karim's new contract includes a €150 million release clause, replacing a previous €15 million clause. His permanent transfer from Al Ahly to FC Barcelona in July 2026 was reportedly for a fee of €1.5 million, with some sources mentioning bonuses up to €5 million. Earlier in 2026, during his loan, the purchase option was consistently reported at €3 million, potentially rising to €5 million with variables. In late 2025, one report suggested a potential deal could be around €2 million.

Our valuation for Hamza Abdel Karim is primarily driven by FC Barcelona's recent actions. While he was signed permanently from Al Ahly for just €1.5 million in July 2026, the club immediately moved to replace his €15 million release clause, which they reportedly feared was too low. This strong signal, combined with a new long-term contract until 2030, indicates his market value now comfortably exceeds that previous clause.
