Algeria-Germany attacking midfielder Ibrahim Maza of Bayer 04 Leverkusen is being linked with a move to Manchester City from the Bundesliga champions.
The 20-year-old, who was born in Berlin and stands at 1.80m, is rated at €45.00m on Transfermarkt, with the Premier League side reportedly monitoring his situation ahead of a potential summer approach. Data on his current deal lists no contract expiry at Leverkusen, adding to speculation over whether he could eventually run down his terms and test the market as a free agent if talks over a long-term agreement do not progress.
Maza, an attacking midfielder who favours his right foot and wears the No 30 shirt at Leverkusen, is viewed as one of the most highly regarded young creators in Germany. Comfortable operating between the lines and in central attacking roles, he fits the profile of a technically gifted playmaker often targeted by top Premier League clubs.
The latest rumour, logged on 14 June 2026 with a probability rating of “?” on Transfermarkt’s transfer log, links him specifically with a switch from the Bundesliga to the Premier League champions, who continue to refresh their squad with versatile midfield options.
Maza, who holds both Algerian and German nationality, has developed his reputation in the German top flight with Leverkusen, featuring in attacking midfield and wider advanced roles. While detailed contractual terms are not disclosed, the absence of a listed expiry date has fuelled debate over his long-term future and whether Leverkusen may eventually be forced to choose between a major sale or the risk of losing him for nothing.
If a move to Manchester City were to materialise, it would mark a significant step in Maza’s career, offering him a platform to enhance his reputation on the European stage and test his potential at the very highest level of club football.
