Ibrahim Maza is reportedly on the verge of signing a new contract with Bayer Leverkusen.

According to Bild, negotiations between the two parties over a one-year extension, taking his contract from 2030 until 2031, are in the final stages, with an official announcement expected before Christmas.

The German tabloid reports that the new deal will not include a release clause and will see Maza receive a €4 million signing bonus, while his annual salary is set to rise from €2.5 million to €4 million.

By extending Maza's contract, Leverkusen would put themselves in a stronger position amid interest from several European top clubs.

Maza has attracted particular interest from Paris Saint-Germain lately, although the French champions have reportedly cooled their pursuit for the time being.

The likes of Arsenal and Manchester United have also been mentioned as suitors for the highly-rated Algeria international.
