"According to several local media outlets, as relayed by SPORT, Barcelona have been tracking Maza for some time now and have intensified their interest in recent months. The 20-year-old attacking midfielder plays for Bayer Leverkusen and has doubled his market value over the past year, now set at €25 million according to Transfermarkt. Maza's contract ties him to the Bundesliga club until 30 June 2030, after Leverkusen signed him last summer from Hertha Berlin for €12 million."
"So far this season, he has played 21 matches for Die Werkself, scoring four goals and providing three assists. The youngster has mainly featured as an attacking midfielder, although he has also been used at the base of midfield and on the left wing. As for the ongoing AFCON, Maza has scored two goals in Algeria's three group-stage matches, one each against Sudan and Equatorial Guinea."
FC Barcelona are tracking young talents at the Africa Cup of Nations, including Levante's Etta Eyong and Algeria's Ibrahim Maza. Maza is a 20-year-old attacking midfielder contracted to Bayer Leverkusen until 30 June 2030 after a €12 million transfer from Hertha Berlin last summer. His market value has doubled to €25 million according to Transfermarkt. This season he has played 21 matches for Die Werkself, scoring four goals and providing three assists while featuring across midfield and the left wing. Maza scored two goals in Algeria's three group-stage AFCON matches. Algeria face DR Congo on January 6 in the Round of 16. Barcelona interest exists, but a move in 2026 appears unlikely because the club has other priorities.
