According to the latest report from "Sport", the release clause in Hamza's contract with Barcelona is just €15 million, so Flick deliberately kept the player out of the lineup before the transfer window closed to prevent him from being "poached".

The release clause in Hamza Abdelkarim's Barcelona contract is reportedly just €15 million, an alarmingly low figure given the financial power of European football, particularly in England.

Flick's decision not to field the player was made in full agreement with Deco and reflects how they handle other matters. Neither wanted to risk the player showcasing the standout performances he had demonstrated in preseason during official matches while the transfer window remained open.

After the window closes, the club will have more time to address this issue, and a long-planned contract renewal will then be implemented. This renewal was deliberately postponed due to the heightened activity in the days leading up to the transfer deadline.

Barcelona's plan is to substantially increase the release clause to €150 million, more than nine times the original figure. Once revised, this will allow Flick to give Hamza more appearances for the senior team if deemed appropriate.

Additionally, according to Egyptian media outlet WinWin, if Hamza plays in 5 official matches for Barcelona's senior team, with at least 45 minutes played in each, Al Ahly will receive a €750,000 bonus.

This fee can increase based on further appearances, reaching a maximum of €2 million. Furthermore, if Hamza scores 5 goals, Al Ahly will also receive a €300,000 bonus, which can increase annually up to €1.5 million.

If all conditions of the €1.5 million fixed transfer fee are met, the total value could reach €5 million, bringing the overall deal to €6.5 million. However, should Hamza's performance exceed expectations, this figure may prove modest.
