Aston Villa, Manchester City, and Chelsea are monitoring Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Ibrahim Maza, who is 20 years old. An Algerian international, Maza has drawn interest from elite clubs in Europe ahead of the summer window due to his versatility in midfield and attack. His move from Hertha Berlin in July 2025 was for a reported €12 million. It has been confirmed that Brighton, Brentford, and Bournemouth have also monitored the player in recent weeks. Leverkusen reportedly considers Maza a key part of their long-term project, and his contract runs until 2030. The growing interest from the Premier League is expected to challenge Leverkusen's intention to keep the player. Maza has 15 caps and 2 goals for Algeria, and his current market value on Transfermarkt is €40.00m. Reports from April 2026 suggest Paris Saint-Germain is prepared to offer up to €90 million. It was also reported that Manchester City was preparing a €65 million offer after a €50 million bid was rejected. In the same month, Bayer Leverkusen's asking price was reported to be between €55 million and €70 million.
