An up-and-coming member of the attacking ranks at La Liga champions Barcelona is attracting widespread transfer interest at present.
That’s according to **[Diario Sport](https://www.sport.es/es/noticias/barca/puja-hamza-abdelkarim-134724162)**, who highlight Hamza Abdelkarim as the player in question.
Hamza for his part first linked up with Barcelona on loan from Al Ahly back in January. From here, the 18-year-old did enough to convince the Blaugrana to make his transfer a permanent one during the summer.
Aware of his goalscoring talents, Hansi Flick, in turn, afforded Hamza a chance to impress as part of his first-team setup during pre-season in Catalunya’s capital.
And the 18-year-old managed precisely that, finding the net in several friendly fixtures, giving rise to a La Liga debut in Barca’s drubbing of Rayo Vallecano late last month.
And such exploits, as alluded to above, did not go at all unnoticed across the continent…
As per a report from Sport, Abdelkarim has attracted interest by way of ‘several teams’ over recent weeks. The Camp Nou brass, in turn, recently responded by tying their young hitman down to a new-and-improved contract.
Deco and co, as a result, remain calm when it comes to Abdelkarim’s future with the club.
