According to Sacha Tavolieri, the Ibrahim Maza situation at Bayer Leverkusen has seemingly taken a new turn behind the scenes.
Even after Paris Saint-Germain, with Luis Campos, returning to the negotiating table, a transfer appears to be out of the question.
The Algerian player’s camp and Leverkusen is said to have ultimately put the decision-makers from the French capital club off the deal.
Accordingly, Maza’s father and Leverkusen wanted to bypass the original framework of the talks and re-establish contact with Paris.
The intention was to communicate through the Stellar agency to “test” whether the Ligue 1 club’s interest in Maza was genuine.
However, this move is said to have displeased Luis Campos. PSG’s sporting adviser is said to have then decided to end the talks.
The approach did not reflect the way Paris wants to handle its transfer business – the Maza deal is definitively off the table for PSG.
Furthermore, Paris is said to have reiterated its position: PSG had never itself made a concrete approach to sign the player.
The club had merely explored making an approach after it emerged that Maza’s father was open in principle to a meeting.
For Ibrahim Maza, the door to Paris therefore appears to have closed for now. However, a future move can't be written off completely.
