Manchester City are being linked with a move for Bayer Leverkusen attacking midfielder Ibrahim Maza, with the Bundesliga youngster’s future complicated by the absence of a confirmed contract expiry date.
The 20-year-old, listed with a market value of €40.00m on Transfermarkt, is the subject of mounting speculation over a potential switch from Leverkusen to the Premier League champions, with the probability of a deal currently rated as unclear (“?”) in the latest rumours. With no contract end date publicly recorded, the scenario raises the prospect that Maza could either negotiate improved terms in Germany or edge towards free‑agent territory if talks stall.
Born in Berlin on 24 November 2005, the right-footed attacking midfielder represents both Algeria and Germany at nationality level, underlining his dual heritage and international appeal. Standing at 1.80m and wearing the No 30 shirt for Leverkusen, he has been developed within the Bundesliga system and is registered in his main role as a central attacking midfielder, though his profile suggests flexibility across advanced midfield positions.
Maza is currently on the books of Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga, with no previous clubs listed in the latest data, indicating his progression has been shaped in one environment rather than through loans or multiple transfers. His performances for Bayer 04 have pushed his valuation into the €40m bracket, a figure that will frame any negotiations should City formalise their interest.
While detailed recent match statistics are not specified in the available data – meaning no particular opponent, date, scoreline or individual display can be highlighted – the ongoing chatter around his name reflects an emerging reputation rather than a single standout game.
If a move to Manchester City were to materialise, the transfer would mark a pivotal step in Maza’s career, offering a platform to elevate his status in European football and test his potential at the sharp end of the Premier League and continental competition.
