Barcelona ‘closely monitoring’ Bayer Leverkusen sensation

2

The transfer team at La Liga giants Barcelona are keeping a close eye on the development of Bayer Leverkusen prodigy Ibrahim Maza. This comes with a view to a potential future move for his signature.

Maza, a 20-year-old attacking midfielder, is for his part widely considered to be one of the standout up-and-coming talents in world football.

Despite his tender years, the Algerian is already one of the first names on the team sheet at the aforementioned Bayer Leverkusen, with 14 appearances to his name thus far this season.

Along the way, the youngster has racked up eight direct goal contributions, courtesy of four goals and four assists.

With as much in mind, the brass at the BayArena have long moved to tie Maza down for the long-term, working tirelessly towards an agreement on a new contract.

And as alluded to above, though the two parties are considered close to an accord, watching on in case of any sudden change in the situation are none other than Barcelona.

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo, citing German outlet BILD:

‘Clubs like Manchester City and Barcelona are closely monitoring him.’
