Ibrahim Maza Admits Dreaming Of Playing For Paris Saint-Germain One Day!

Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Ibrahim Maza has openly discussed his ambitions for the future, admitting that playing for Paris Saint-Germain would be a dream while setting his sights on winning the Champions League and Ballon d'Or.

Speaking exclusively to RTL and Sky Sport, the 20-year-old Algerian international made no secret of his desire to reach the very highest level of European football.

His comments come amid growing recognition of his performances at Die Werkself, where he has become an increasingly important figure in the German club.

Maza Admits Dream Of Playing For PSG

Asked about the possibility of representing a club like Paris Saint-Germain in the future, Maza acknowledged his admiration for the French champions.

The comments are particularly interesting given PSG's reported interest in the Leverkusen midfielder.

The French club have previously been linked with Maza, although recent reports have indicated that a January move is not currently being pursued.

Leverkusen, meanwhile, are understood to be interested in extending the Algerian's contract, which currently runs until June 2030.

Maza's remarks reflect his long-term ambitions rather than an indication that he is actively seeking an immediate departure from the Bundesliga club.

Champions League And Ballon d'Or Among His Biggest Goals

Beyond his admiration for PSG, Maza also revealed the individual and collective achievements he hopes to accomplish during his career.

Those ambitions come during a period of increasing international recognition for the Algerian.

Maza recently finished among the top ten young players in the 2026 Kopa Trophy rankings and has also been nominated for the CAF Young Player of the Year award.

He additionally revealed his excitement after learning that Lionel Messi had voted for him in the Kopa Trophy selection.

Leverkusen Determined To Keep Their Rising Star

Maza's growing reputation is supported by his performances on the pitch.

The midfielder has already contributed four goals and three assists this season, including a goal in Leverkusen's recent Bundesliga defeat against Stuttgart.

His ability to drive forward with possession, operate between opposition midfielders and defenders, and contribute directly in front of goal has made him one of the most important pieces of Martínez's attacking plans.

For Leverkusen, keeping Maza represents an important part of their long-term sporting project.

His contract provides the club with a strong negotiating position, while a potential extension would underline their intention to build around one of their most promising young players.

Maza has made his ambitions clear, the dream is to reach the very top of world football and from here, the stage only gets bigger.
