Several top European clubs, including Bayern Munich and Milan, are following 17-year-old Al Ahly forward Hamza Abdelkarim. According to Sport, Barcelona are reportedly close to signing the Egyptian talent. The same source suggests the player, who gained prominence at the last U-17 World Cup, has expressed a desire to move to Catalonia as early as January, and that the transfer operation is expected to be a low-cost deal for a fee similar to a previous youth signing of around 2 million euros.
