PSG reportedly drops interest in Ibrahim Maza
Arsenal and Tottenham have also been linked with the Bayer Leverkusen midfielder, whose club reportedly wants around £60 million to consider a sale.
Paris Saint-Germain has reportedly ended discussions concerning Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Ibrahim Maza after sporting adviser Luis Campos objected to a proposed approach through an agency, according to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri.
Tavolieri reported that Maza’s father and Leverkusen wanted to use the Stellar agency to establish whether PSG remained interested, outside the original framework for discussions. Campos reportedly considered that approach incompatible with the club’s way of conducting transfer business and stopped the exchanges. Tavolieri also reported that PSG maintained it had not initiated a concrete approach to sign the Algeria international.
Reports linking Maza with PSG followed Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s injury. Sky Sport Germany had reported contact between the French club and the player’s representatives, with a potential January move under consideration.
Arsenal and Tottenham have also been linked with the 20-year-old. TEAMtalk reported in late September that Arsenal was ready to step up its pursuit, while Tottenham was monitoring him. Leverkusen reportedly wants to retain Maza and would only consider sale discussions at around £60 million.
