Bayer Leverkusen is also in the race to sign Ibrahim Maza, competing with Atlético Madrid, Stuttgart, and Manchester City.

Bayer Leverkusen is closely monitoring Ibrahim Maza's development. Maza has a release clause of 9.5 million euros in his contract, which was one of the conditions for his contract extension in August. His departure from Hertha BSC is considered likely, with a stay in the capital deemed very unlikely.
