Simeone points out the "heir" of Griezmann

The Atlético de Madrid closely follows the progress of young talents in European football, and one of the names that has caught their attention is Ibrahim Maza. The 19-year-old forward, who plays for Hertha Berlin, has started to shine in the Bundesliga with noteworthy numbers: seven goals and five assists in 25 official matches this season.

The player, who has established himself in the first team after coming up through the youth ranks of the Berlin club, is seen as a future bet for the Colchoneros. His contract with Hertha extends until 2027, but in Germany, there is already talk of his possible departure next summer. His transfer is estimated to close around 10 million euros, although his market value stands at 12 million.

Competition for the 'new Griezmann'

As reported by the German magazine 'Bild', Atlético de Madrid is not the only team eyeing Maza. Stuttgart is one of the keenest clubs in the Bundesliga, while Bayer Leverkusen is also in the race. Moreover, in the Premier League, Newcastle and both Manchester teams have closely monitored his performance, given his immense potential and playing style that resembles Griezmann's.

Of Algerian origin, the forward has represented Germany at youth levels but recently chose to play for Algeria's senior national team. His versatility in the attacking line and exponential growth make him one of the most sought-after gems in European football.
