Bayer Leverkusen submit new contract offer to Ibrahim Maza

Bayer Leverkusen have reportedly submitted a written contract offer to Ibrahim Maza as they look to secure the Algerian midfielder’s long-term future.

According to Bild, the Bundesliga club made the proposal after several rounds of discussions with the 20-year-old’s representatives. An agreement could be reached before Christmas, although some details still need to be resolved.

The proposed deal would extend Maza’s contract until 2031, one year beyond his current agreement, and include a significant salary increase. The offer reportedly does not contain a release clause.

Maza joined Leverkusen from Hertha BSC in 2025 for a reported €12 million and has developed into an influential member of the squad. His performances have attracted interest from major European clubs, with Manchester City and Barcelona among the sides linked with him.

Sky Sports previously reported that Leverkusen had opened talks over an improved contract, while also noting interest from Premier League clubs. Paris Saint-Germain have since emerged as another potential suitor.

Leverkusen are keen to reward Maza’s progress while strengthening their negotiating position amid growing interest in the attacking midfielder. However, no agreement has yet been officially announced, and discussions remain ongoing.
