PSG eye winter signing while Bayer Leverkusen block Maza's exit
Ibrahim Maza, the 20‑year‑old Algerian international, is impressing at Bayer Leverkusen and has drawn the attention of Paris Saint‑Germain as well as a host of other European heavyweights, while his current club appears determined to keep him in place.
The young midfielder arrived from Hertha Berlin and has quickly become a key figure in the Bundesliga, prompting praise for his technical ability and versatility.
European clubs line up for Maza
His performances have sparked interest beyond Paris Saint‑Germain, with Arsenal and Tottenham monitoring his progress, Chelsea, Manchester City and Aston Villa are also reported to be watching the Algerian talent. PSG is studying a possible winter‑window signing, a move motivated by the injury to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and the need for additional offensive options.
No concrete offer has emerged yet, and Bayer Leverkusen have signalled they will not ease a potential departure. German officials are said to be prepared to offer Maza a contract upgrade in order to secure his future at the club.
A January move therefore looks complicated, but the growing list of suitors his displays are resonating across the European market.
