After a standout season, Maza has established himself as a key figure for Leverkusen. In the 2025/2026 campaign, he racked up 47 appearances across all competitions, scoring 7 goals and providing 5 assists—including 3 goals and 4 assists in the Bundesliga—demonstrating impressive consistency at the highest level.

Revealed during the 2025 AFCON with Algeria, the 20-year-old has impressed with his work rate and technical precision. It’s a rapid rise that hasn’t gone unnoticed at Barça, who are determined to closely track the progress of the Algerian talent.
