La Liga: Egyptian teenager Abdelkarim to extend Barca deal to 2030

Barcelona has announced that Egyptian teenage footballer Hamza Abdelkarim will extend his contract with the club until 2030, according to a statement released on Friday. The 18-year-old joined the Spanish giants on loan from Al Ahly, a leading Egyptian side, in February. He made a permanent transfer to Barcelona in the summer following his impressive performances in pre-season and the World Cup.

Abdelkarim was the youngest player to represent Egypt at the World Cup, participating in all five matches. He scored four goals in Barcelona's pre-season matches and made his first-team debut as a substitute in a 5-2 victory over Rayo Vallecano. The club confirmed that Abdelkarim will sign his new deal on Tuesday.
