Algeria and Germany-eligible attacking midfielder Ibrahim Maza of Bayer Leverkusen is being linked with a summer move to Barcelona, with the La Liga side monitoring the 20-year-old’s situation in Germany.
The Leverkusen No 30, valued at €45.00m by Transfermarkt, has emerged as a target for the Spanish club according to the latest transfer listings dated 8 June 2026. The reported probability of the deal remains unclear, listed only as “?”, and there is currently no public indication of an agreed fee or advanced negotiations.
Maza’s contract details at Leverkusen have not been disclosed, with no expiry date recorded, fuelling speculation that the Bundesliga champions could be vulnerable to a sizeable offer or, longer term, to the risk of the player running down his deal and opening the door to a free-agent departure.
Born in Berlin on 24 November 2005 and standing at 1.80m, Maza is a right‑footed attacking midfielder who can operate across the advanced central roles. He represents Bayer 04 Leverkusen at club level and holds both Algerian and German nationality.
The 20-year-old has been part of the Leverkusen set-up in the Bundesliga, where his development has drawn increasing attention from major European clubs. His current market value of €45.00m reflects his status as one of the more highly regarded young midfielders in his age bracket.
Recent data does not list detailed individual statistics or a specific recent match – such as opponent, date, scoreline or performance breakdown – but Maza’s presence in Leverkusen’s first‑team group at such a young age is seen as a key factor behind Barcelona’s interest.
With his future still open and the likelihood of a move yet to be quantified, a transfer to Barcelona would offer Maza a different tactical environment and a larger global stage, potentially accelerating his career trajectory and shaping his reputation among Europe’s elite if the switch eventually materialises.
