The African talent Barça keeps scouting abroad was already inside the academy.
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick said Hamza Abdelkarim could enter preseason plans after the Egyptian forward impressed at youth level.
While Barcelona scouts the world for the next Messi, they might find him in their own academy halls. Egyptian teenager Hamza Abdelkarim is forcing Hansi Flick's hand with performances that echo the continent's long-overdue recognition at Camp Nou. This isn't just another youth prospect getting a preseason look; it's Barcelona finally acknowledging that African talent doesn't need to be imported when it's already flourishing in their system. If Abdelkarim breaks through, he'd join a lineage of African stars who've proven that the continent's football brilliance belongs at the very top of European football.
