On the 26th, German media ``Sky Sports'' reported that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is interested in 20-year-old Algerian national team midfielder Ibrahim Maza, who plays for Germany's Leverkusen. Maza was born in 2005 and made his debut with Leverkusen's first team in April 2023 after playing in Hertha Berlin's youth organization. He played in 54 games and recorded 8 goals and 10 assists. At the 2026 FIFA World Cup, he started all four games for Algeria and helped them advance to the Round of 32.
According to the same media, club champions PSG have been closely monitoring Maza's movements for a long time and have also expressed interest in the player. It is reported that they may aim to sign him in this winter's transfer window. Manchester City were also mentioned as candidates to sign Maza this summer, but it now appears that offers have been received from multiple clubs, including PSG.
Meanwhile, Leverkusen want to secure Maza's future and are in talks to extend his current contract (end of June 2030). However, no agreement has been reached, and it is reported that negotiations are likely to be prolonged. As the winter transfer window approaches, Leverkusen will have to decide whether to keep or sell their young talent.
