AC Milan hold an interest in signing Ibrahim Maza from Hertha BSC and were willing to offer a sizeable sum in January, according to a report.
As per a report from Kicker, Milan and Porto both came forward to sign the 19-year-old talent Maza in the winter mercato. The forward had two ‘concrete and highly attractive offers’ and turned down both clubs.
Milan ended up turning to Riccardo Sottil and Joao Felix to strengthen the attacking midfielder and left wing roles, but they went in with a bid for Maza which Hertha were willing to accept. However, the teenager made it clear that he wished to stay.
After Maza’s rejection of Milan, Hertha’s directors did not receive any offer on the table that would have been worth considering. The actual amount of the planned offer from the Rossoneri was a package with a base transfer fee of around €15m plus bonuses was apparently prepared.
In this case, the capital club – which must again achieve a transfer surplus in the double-digit millions in the summer of 2025 – would probably neither have been able to say no nor would have said no. However, the player’s will ended up being decisive and thus he remained.
