Hamza Abdelkarim's father denies Como transfer rumours
What happened
The father of Barcelona forward Hamza Abdelkarim has dismissed speculation linking the Egyptian international with a move away from the club, including reports of a transfer to Como in Italy. Speaking in an interview with Eram News, as cited by Mundo Deportivo, Mohammed Abdel Karim said claims that his son would leave Barcelona were untrue and that the rumours about a move to Como were fabricated, according to a report by Get Spanish Football News.
Report details
The speculation followed a difficult start to the season for Abdelkarim, who had been widely expected to play a prominent first-team role this term after impressing under Hansi Flick during pre-season. Instead, the forward has struggled for minutes in a crowded Barcelona frontline, which gave rise to suggestions he could seek more regular first-team football as early as January. His father's comments, as reported by Get Spanish Football News, push back on that possibility without offering any further detail on the player's plans.
