Coaching Staff Optimistic About Star's Future
The German head coach stated during a press conference that management handled the player's situation wisely, commending his performance in training sessions. Flick noted that Hamza possesses rare skills, making him a strategic asset indispensable for upcoming competitions.
The young striker distinguished himself with high productivity in friendly matches, scoring four goals during the preseason. He currently competes fiercely with senior teammates to secure a regular spot in the first-team lineup.
Rapid Ascent to the Top
Hamza joined the Spanish club in February on loan from Al Ahly, with the transfer becoming permanent in the summer of 2026. He scored nine goals in six matches for the reserve team, leading the youth league in scoring and guiding his team to the title.
