FC Barcelona and Manchester City have both targeted Ibrahim Maza, the 20-year-old attacking midfielder at Bayer Leverkusen, according to Catalan media outlet Mundo Deportivo. The Algerian international, currently preparing with his national team for the 2026 World Cup, has been one of the revelations of the Bundesliga season.
Maza finished the campaign with 5 goals and 7 assists in a Bayer Leverkusen shirt, figures that have apparently convinced the scouts of both European giants. Born in Berlin, the player is regarded as one of the greatest talents in Algerian football of his generation.
Under contract with Leverkusen until June 2030, Maza is valued at €45 million by Transfermarkt. This figure could rise further this summer if the midfielder delivers a standout World Cup campaign with Algeria, which would strengthen the German club’s negotiating position in any potential talks.
