Barca's Golden Ticket: An Ahly Talent Eyes a Barcelona Leap
3 December 2025
Barca’s Golden Opportunity for an Ahly Forward
Hani Ramzi, former coach of Egypt's Olympic team, says Hamza Abdul Karim, a striker from Al Ahly's youth, deserves a starting spot with the senior side.
In a radio interview, Ramzi called Hamza a standout talent at the right age for pro football, noting he has drawn several offers, notably from Barcelona.
Ramzi's Insight and Egypt's Performance
He said a Barca move would be a golden chance to gain experience, and he believes Al Ahly would not object, giving Hamza a strong start while the club benefits.
Ramzi also commented on Egypt’s second-string side against Kuwait, praising the performance but saying the 1-1 draw did not reflect the effort.
He pointed out that missed chances are a major problem for Egyptian football, as there is no proven striker who can decide matches.
He also spoke about Mohamed Sherif’s substitution against Kuwait in the Arab Cup, saying there was no justification for his objection and that such issues should be discussed privately to protect relations with the coach.
Bang — if the move sticks, Hamza arrives at Barca before the ball.
If it falls through, Egypt will still have the memes.
