Egyptian starlet Hamza Abdelkarim has officially been added to Barcelona's first-team squad for the 2026-27 La Liga campaign.

Hansi Flick's Barcelona kicked off their La Liga title defence with a ruthless 5-0 demolition of Elche. Despite the flurry of goals, the glaring absence of a recognised centre-forward remains the biggest talking point in Catalonia, and German tactician has made it crystal clear: the club's search for a natural centre-forward is far from resolved.
