€150 Million Lock-In! Barcelona Extend Hamza's Deal Until 2030

Barcelona officially announced on September 13 the extension of Egyptian player Hamza's contract until June 2030. The 2008-born forward's new deal terms were not disclosed, but sources say his release clause has been raised from €15 million to €150 million. Sporting director Deco rejected multiple loan offers this summer, instead keeping him in the first-team setup to train under Hansi Flick alongside top-tier players. The club values his lethal finishing inside the box and views him as their future number 9. Hamza arrived in February, scoring 6 goals in 9 league appearances before his buyout was triggered. For the new season, he'll wear number 29 for the senior side and number 19 for the B team, making him the club's first-ever Egyptian player. He will pen his name on Tuesday at 5 PM, and his family has already moved to Barcelona.
