Hamza, currently on loan from Ahly until the end of the season, has made a strong impression since arriving in January, most notably scoring a hat-trick in the Juvenil A’s 9-0 victory over Montecarlo as they finish top of Group 3 in the División de Honor.
This result confirmed Barcelona as regional champions, securing their place in the Copa de Campeones to compete for the overall national title..
His performances have strengthened internal discussions over a permanent deal, which would include an option worth €1.5 million plus 15 percent of any future sale and additional variables, potentially raising the total value to €5 million.
Sources indicate no final decision has been taken. But Hamza's continued development has positioned him as a candidate to step up to Barça Atlètic should Barcelona exercise their option to buy.
Hamza has already shown contrasting qualities to Gistau, offering a more traditional penalty-area presence, and has quickly adapted to Barcelona’s youth system, strengthening his case for progression within the club’s structure.
