Ibrahim Maza becomes most valuable Algerian footballer

Ibrahim Maza has become the most valuable Algerian footballer on the transfer market, with his market value rising to €50 million according to Transfermarkt. The 20-year-old Bayer Leverkusen midfielder saw his valuation increase from €45 million in May to the current €50 million mark, driven by strong performances for both his club and the Algerian national team.

Maza’s recent form includes a standout performance in the Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifiers, where he scored a goal and provided an assist in a 3-1 victory against Zambia. This surge in value places him ahead of other notable Algerian players like Rayan Aït-Nouri.

Currently under contract with Bayer Leverkusen until 2030, Maza is attracting significant interest from major European clubs. Potential suitors include Premier League sides such as Arsenal, Manchester City, and Chelsea, as well as Spanish giants Atlético de Madrid and FC Barcelona. His rapid rise follows his move from Hertha Berlin to Leverkusen, where he has significantly increased his commercial worth.
