The announcement, posted on May 1, sparked excitement among fans, with the club hailing Maza as a "game-changer" for their attacking unit.
Maza, who featured in 30 matches for Hertha in the 2.Bundesliga this season, scored five goals and provided three assists, showcasing his flair and vision.
The transfer fee, reportedly around 12 million euros, was triggered by a buy-out clause in the youngster's contract, making it a shrewd move for the Werkself.
Born in Germany, Maza has pledged his international allegiance to Algeria, earning his first cap against Togo in October 2024. His versatility and dynamic style have drawn comparisons to some of Europe's brightest talents.
Simon Rolfes, Leverkusen's sporting director, expressed his delight at the signing. "Ibrahim Maza is among the most exciting young attackers in the game," Rolfes said. "His technical ability, dribbling, and vision make him a perfect fit for our philosophy. He's ready to make an impact."
A recent X post from Leverkusen's official account teased Maza's integration, showing him training with teammates and captioned, "New face, same hunger. Ibrahim Maza is here to shine."
Head coach Xabi Alonso also praised the signing in a press conference, noting, "Ibrahim brings energy and creativity. We're thrilled to have him."
Maza's arrival bolsters Leverkusen's attacking options as they aim to compete on multiple fronts this season. Fans are already buzzing about the teenager's potential to light up the BayArena.
Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has urged teenage midfielder Lennart Karl to play without fear as the youngster continues to develop his game at the highest level.
