Lisbon's heart-throb, with his breathtaking skills and steel-like resolve, had a little flirtation with the idea of jumping ships, much to the dismay of the Hertha faithful. But fret not, compadres – he's sticking around!
The 21-year-old prodigy, snatched from Reinickendorfer Füchse in 2016, has now sealed the best deal in town, leaving Bayern Munich and their adoring supporters green with envy. German sports rag "Kicker" scooped the news ahead of time.
Sporting director Benjamin Weber couldn't contain his excitement, raving:

Rumors abound about heavy-hitting teams coveting his talents, but the contract extension comes as a significant boost to Hertha's aspirations to scale the Bundesliga 2 ladder, especially after key players called it quits. Rival Fabian Reese is also set to stay this summer, crafting what appears to be an unstoppable team for the upcoming season.
But don't just take our word for it. Here's the lowdown on what the contract extension means for Hertha and its academy:
- Midfield Boss: Maza's extended deal elevates Hertha's position in the attacking midfield, making them tougher to toss around.
