According to AS, Bayern Munich was one of the clubs that made an offer for the young Egyptian player from Al Ahly, Hamza Abdelkarim. The interest followed his performance at the U-17 World Cup. However, Abdelkarim ultimately did not join Bayern Munich and will play for Barcelona.

Bayern Munich made an offer in the winter to sign Hamza Abdelkarim for a transfer this summer, but his club, El Ahly, rejected it. The striker therefore remained at his club, awaiting the Under-17 World Cup.

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.
