Ibrahim Maza Transfer from Hertha BSC to VfB Stuttgart
Ibrahim Maza's contract includes a release clause of 9.5 million euros, which was a condition for his contract extension in August. During that period, VfB Stuttgart showed significant interest in Maza. This interest from VfB Stuttgart continues to be strong, as there is a possibility that several players, such as Enzo Millot and Chris Führich, may leave the club in the summer due to their release clauses. It appears likely that Maza will depart, with his staying in the capital deemed very unlikely.
Ibrahim Maza was of great interest to several clubs, including Stuttgart, who were very close to securing the young playmaker. However, Maza ultimately decided to stay with Hertha BSC, citing his strong connection to the club, his friends, and his family in Berlin.
Stuttgart had shown interest in the player before he extended his contract with Hertha BSC until 2027.
Ibrahim Maza, despite being only 18 years old, has already secured a regular spot at Hertha BSC. Unsurprisingly, the top talent is highly sought after, with interest coming from VfB Stuttgart and England. Hertha, however, has been keen to keep Maza in Berlin and has succeeded. According to kicker information, there has been a breakthrough in the long-standing negotiations, so the midfielder will soon extend his contract, which runs until 2026, ahead of schedule.
VfB Stuttgart recently offered over 5 million EUR for Ibrahim Maza, but Hertha BSC demanded 8 million EUR. There is a possibility that VfB Stuttgart may increase their offer after a poor start to the season.
Ibrahim Maza wants to leave Hertha BSC for VfB Stuttgart, and negotiations are ongoing. Hertha BSC initially demanded 8 million euros but now a transfer fee between 3 and 5 million euros seems possible.
Hertha BSC has reportedly set a transfer price of 8 million Euros for Ibrahim Maza, which can increase to 10 million Euros. Ibrahim Maza, whose contract with Hertha BSC expires in 2026, has attracted the interest of Champions League participant VfB Stuttgart.
Hertha's coach Pal Dardai criticized Ibrahim Maza in public, which did not sit well with everyone in the club. Maza, who had extended his contract in Berlin until 2026, is supposed to become a fixture at Hertha in the coming season. Recently, there were even plans in the club for talks about a contract extension beyond 2026. Dardai's public anger attack is likely to have significantly reduced the willingness for this in the Maza camp. According to kicker information, Bundesliga club VfB Stuttgart is currently advertising alongside clubs from England and Italy for the German U-19 national player.
Hertha's thoughts of extending Maza's contract (valid until 2026), who is courted by VfB Stuttgart, seem to have been put on hold for now.
The future of the U19 national player (contract until 2026) is considered unclear, several first division teams such as Stuttgart and Wolfsburg, but also clubs from abroad, have been observing Maza for a long time.
