Even though the current season is not yet halfway through, the club’s management is spending a significant amount of time planning for the 2025-2026 season.
The red-and-white team aims to set in motion various moves that could be finalized next summer.
One of the operations already in progress involves the Algerian international Ibrahim Maza, who made his debut on October 10.
After closely observing his performances with Hertha Berlin, Atlético has reportedly begun taking initial steps to secure his signing, according to As.
Atlético Eyes Ibrahim Maza
The versatile striker, just 18 years old, is having an excellent season in the 2. Bundesliga (he has three goals and two assists in 12 games) and his performances have not gone unnoticed by Atlético or other teams in the Premier League or Ligue 1
With a contract that runs until June 2027, Atlético is eager to sign him as soon as possible to fend off growing competition and prevent his price from soaring.
The club understands that once players like Maza reach their peak, they may become unattainable, so they need to act before he hits his best form.
It’s a move reminiscent of the Agüero signing, the newspaper concludes.
