A report by 'Sky' indicated that Southampton had shown interest in Ibrahim Maza. Maza, an 18-year-old Algerian national player, is currently considered the most valuable player in the 2nd Bundesliga, boasting a market value of 8 million Euros. Although he has a contract with Hertha until 2027, his continued stay is doubtful if Hertha fails to advance to the Bundesliga. His contract includes a release clause that would allow him to depart for a base amount of 9.5 million Euros from the summer of 2025, with the possibility of additional payments linked to his number of national and international appearances for the new club.
