Bayer Leverkusen’s Simon Rolfes confirms contract talks with Ibrahim Maza  

Ibrahim Maza has hit the ground running since joining Bayer Leverkusen, filling the void left by Florian Wirtz and receiving widespread plaudits for his amazing displays, which has returned three goals and as many assists in nine Bundesliga games this season.

The 20-year-old also has one UEFA Europa League strike and two in the DFB Pokal this term, prompting Die Werkself to open negotiations with the Algerian star. “We’re in talks,” sporting director Simon Rolfes told Kicker. 

Maza’s contract at Leverkusen runs until the end of June 2030, and his performances so far have shown that it is difficult to replace him. 

If the two parties agree to the contract extension, Maza will sign a contract until 2032, according to Kicker, with Leverkusen hoping that he will eventually be the club’s next big money sale. 

Kicker also indicates that even if Maza doesn’t end up extending his contract, he will still have more than three years left on his deal. This will give Leverkusen the upper hand in any transfer negotiations with the big clubs who will be interested in the player.
