Atletico Madrid interested in signing Algerian youngster Ibrahim Maza

Atlético Madrid are reportedly interested in signing Algerian attacking midfielder Ibrahim Maza from Bayer 04 Leverkusen during the upcoming summer transfer window.

The 20-year-old has emerged as one of Leverkusen’s standout performers this season, contributing four goals and five assists across all competitions.

Atlético Madrid have reportedly been tracking Maza since his earlier spell with Hertha BSC and are impressed with the rapid progress he has made since joining Leverkusen.

The Bundesliga side are not willing to part ways with the promising playmaker easily and are said to value him at no less than €45 million.

Atlético are keen to strengthen their attacking options ahead of next season, particularly with uncertainty surrounding the future of Antoine Griezmann, who could depart the club, while questions also remain over the long-term role of Julián Álvarez.

Maza’s market value could rise even further depending on his performances in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, making the coming months potentially decisive for both the player and the clubs monitoring his development.
