Transfer market: Leverkusen targets Ibrahim Maza to strengthen midfield

Bayer Leverkusen is actively working in the transfer market for the upcoming season. According to Sport Bild, the German club is closely monitoring Ibrahim Maza, a young attacking midfielder from Hertha Berlin. His name is on Xabi Alonso's list, who appreciates his technical profile and ability to operate between the lines.

At just 19 years old, the Algerian international is establishing himself as one of the most promising talents in Bundesliga 2. This season, he boasts 5 goals and 3 assists in 27 appearances for Hertha. Performances that have not gone unnoticed. Under contract until 2027, Maza has a release clause set at 12 million euros. A reasonable sum for Leverkusen, which could quickly take action. With a likely qualification for the Champions League, the club seeks to strengthen its squad and prepare for the future.

Hertha Berlin, meanwhile, is not expected to sell its jewel cheaply. Relegated to the second division, the capital club hopes to retain its playmaker, unless a satisfactory offer is made. It remains to be seen if Leverkusen will materialize its interest. Other clubs might enter the race, prompting the leaders to speed up negotiations.
