A former Germany youth international, the Berlin-born Maza opted in 2024 to play for Algeria.
"Ibrahim Maza is currently one of the most interesting young attacking players," Leverkusen sporting managing director Simon Rolfes said.
"Ibrahim suits us and our style of football. He has outstanding technical ability, is good at dribbling and assertive and he also has vision for his teammates who he can brilliantly bring into play."
Ibrahim #Maza will join Bayer 04 from Hertha BSC for the2025/26 season.
