Barcelona are preparing to renew Hamza Abdulkarim’s contract after being convinced by the Egyptian player’s performances, according to reporter Juli Claramunt.
The club is working on improved terms for Abdulkarim, whose current agreement contains a €15 million release clause. Barcelona want the clause to rise to €150 million as part of the proposed renewal.
The planned change would represent a substantial increase in the amount required for another club to activate the clause and sign the Egyptian player. Barcelona’s intention is to strengthen Abdulkarim’s contract while rewarding the performances that have persuaded the club to improve his existing terms.
Claramunt reports that the contract renewal is now being prepared by Barcelona. The most significant point under discussion is the release clause, which the club is seeking to increase tenfold, from €15 million to €150 million.
Abdulkarim’s displays have been central to Barcelona’s decision. Although the club has not yet completed the renewal, its intention to revise the agreement indicates the value it places on the Egyptian player’s performances.
At present, Abdulkarim’s release clause stands at €15 million. If Barcelona’s plans are completed, the revised figure would be €150 million. The difference between the two amounts is the key financial aspect of the proposed new contract.
The report does not provide further details about the length of the new agreement or when the renewal will be finalised. It states only that Barcelona will renew Abdulkarim’s contract and is preparing improved terms, including the higher release clause.
The news comes from reporter Juli Claramunt, who says Barcelona’s decision follows the Egyptian player’s performances. The club’s response is to work on a new contract that reflects its assessment of Abdulkarim and raises the cost of triggering his release clause.
