Ibrahim Maza nears Leverkusen contract extension to 2031
His salary would rise from 2.5 to 4 million per season, with no fixed release clause, as City, Barça and PSG keep watching.
Bayer Leverkusen is about to extend the contract of Ibrahim Maza until 2031, according to Bild, after several rounds of negotiations. The midfielder, who arrived from Hertha BSC in 2025 for 12 million, has become a pillar of the side with 4 goals and 4 assists in 14 games this season.
The written offer would lift his wage from 2.5 to 4 million euros per season, plus a total bonus of 4 million more. The key condition would be that he accepts having no fixed release clause, similar to the route taken with Florian Wirtz, who left for Liverpool for 140 million two summers ago.
Big clubs are circling: Manchester City and Barcelona are following him closely, and PSG was linked in early November. Maza said back then that playing for a club of that prestige would be a huge dream, comparing it to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Arsenal, and called it a goal he is chasing like many footballers.
