Carlos Martinez, the Spanish coach of Bayer Leverkusen, has stated that he intends to retain Algerian international midfielder Ibrahim Maza for many years. Speaking on 29 October 2026, Martinez emphasized that he is not contemplating the player's departure, despite recent speculation linking the midfielder to a move abroad.

Paris Saint-Germain has expressed interest in signing Maza and has already contacted his representatives regarding a possible deal in the January 2027 transfer window. In response to this external pressure, Bayer Leverkusen is preparing an early contract extension with improved financial terms to secure the player's long-term future at the club.

Maza, who is currently under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until summer 2030, has been a key performer for the team this term. The midfielder has scored three goals and provided one assist in his first ten league matches of the 2026-27 season, demonstrating his continued importance to the squad.

With the January transfer window approaching, the situation remains a focal point for both clubs. Martinez's public commitment to keeping Maza signals the club's desire to maintain its core group, while the potential financial upgrade to his contract aims to neutralize the allure of offers from other European giants.
