Arsenal is interested in signing Bayer Leverkusen's German-Algerian attacking midfielder, Ibrahim Maza, and faces significant competition. Fellow Premier League clubs Manchester City, Tottenham, and Newcastle United are also interested in the player. Further interest comes from Atlético de Madrid and Juventus, according to Fussballdaten. The same source suggests the Spanish club has already held preliminary talks with Maza's representatives.
Bayer Leverkusen has reportedly set an asking price of between €55 million and €65 million for the 20-year-old, who is under contract until 2030. The Algerian international, who has 15 caps and 2 goals for his country, has a current Transfermarkt market value of €40 million. Recent reports on his valuation have varied; in March 2026, Bayer Leverkusen reportedly rejected a €35 million offer from Atlético Madrid, while in April 2026, Manchester City was reportedly informed that a minimum of €70 million would be needed to start talks.
