According to Goal.com, Bartomeu praised Barcelona's Egyptian forward Hamza Abdelkarim, considering him one of the club's most promising players for the future.

Hamza Abdelkarim scored twice in a friendly against Birmingham City, marking his Barcelona debut. However, Barcelona ultimately lost in a penalty shootout.

Bartomeu stated on "ON Sport Max" channel: "Hamza Abdelkarim has immense talent and will be an important player for the club in the future. His mentality is also excellent, which will help him continue to improve and perform at his best in the coming time."

When asked if he had the opportunity to sign Salah during his tenure as Barcelona president, Bartomeu said that the Egyptian star was already one of the world's top players at the time, but the deal would have been difficult to complete due to the attacking trio of Messi, Neymar, and Luis Suarez.

The former Barcelona president said: "When I was Barcelona president, the club had to pursue the best players in the world, and Salah is a legendary player. He performed excellently at Liverpool and broke many records."

He added: "Salah is a player with a different style and extremely high level. He created his own football style at Liverpool, but at that time, it was very difficult to sign him due to the presence of Messi, Neymar, and Luis Suarez."

Bartomeu's praise for Hamza Abdelkarim came after the Egyptian player's impressive debut at Barcelona. He continues to strive for opportunities, working hard to prove his abilities, and hopes to become an important member of the Catalan club in the future.
