The value of this 18-year-old attacker on the transfer websiteTransfermarkthas skyrocketed in recent times. As of January 2024, Ibrahim Maza's value onTransfermarktis 600 thousand euros (16 billion VND).

The reason why Maza's price has skyrocketed is because recently, this player has continuously played for Hertha Berlin Club. Notably, Maza scored in the 1-1 draw between Hertha Berlin and Braunschweig in the German 2nd division in February this year. In March this year, Maza scored 1 goal in the 1-2 loss of U19 Germany to U19 Croatia.
Recently, there was information that Ibrahim Maza was on the radar of Brighton, the team currently ranked 8th in the Premier League. Accordingly, representatives of Brighton and VfB Stuttgart went to see Ibrahim Maza.
Ibrahim Maza has a contract with Hertha Berlin until 2026 and has no release clause. VfB Stuttgart can spend less than 10 million euros (268 billion VND) to buy Ibrahim Maza.
Ibrahim Maza is considered a promising young talent of German football. In 2023, Ibrahim Maza became famous when he entered the Top 10 youngest players to score in the top 5 European leagues. That was when Maza tore the net against Wolfburg at the age of 17 years, 6 months and 3 days in the Bundesliga.
Unfortunately, Maza could not continue to breathe the Bundesliga air when his Club was relegated. After that, Maza had bad luck with injuries and had to sit out for a long time. Until recently, Maza returned to play for Hertha Berlin.
Ibrahim Maza has been of interest to Juventus and Bremen in the past. It is known that Ibrahim Maza is eligible to play for one of three national teams, including Germany, Algeria and Vietnam. Maza's father is Algerian while his mother is Vietnamese. Maza himself has been called up to the German U18 team in 2022.
If Maza can return to Vietnam to play, this young player can solve the problem of the Vietnamese National Team's attack.
