Como consider move for Barcelona striker Hamza Abdelkarim in January

Como are closely monitoring FC Barcelona forward Hamza Abdelkarim ahead of the January transfer window, according to El Nacional.

The Italian club are keen to take advantage of the Egyptian striker’s current situation at Barcelona and could attempt to sign him when the winter market opens. Abdelkarim may consider leaving in search of a fresh start and a clearer path in his developing career.

The youngster joined Barcelona hoping to make rapid progress, but has so far found opportunities with the first team limited. Hansi Flick has a number of options in attack, restricting Abdelkarim’s chances of regular involvement and prompting the 2026? wait preserve no invented. Could be January.

His lack of playing time could lead to a move as early as January, with Como viewing the forward as a potentially valuable addition to their attack.

Under manager Cesc Fabregas, Abdelkarim could be offered a more favourable environment in which to develop. A regular role would allow him to continue his progress at senior level, and the prospect of greater first-team involvement could influence his decision over his next destination.

Abdelkarim is also understood to be unwilling to continue his career solely with Barcelona’s youth sides. The Egypt international wants to take the next step and establish himself in professional football.

That ambition could make Como’s proposal attractive to both player and club as the January transfer window approaches. For Como, the move would provide additional attacking depth; for Abdelkarim, it could offer the regular competitive football he has so far been unable to secure at Barcelona.
