In late July 2026, Algerian striker Mohamed Amine Amoura was reportedly nearing a transfer from VfL Wolfsburg to Benfica for a fee of approximately €20 million. The deal was expected to be finalized following a medical examination in Lisbon. By late August, the situation regarding Amoura’s tenure at Wolfsburg shifted. Following a period of inactivity due to physical issues, Amoura returned to collective training. Wolfsburg coach Tobias Strobl addressed rumors regarding the player’s absence, stating there were ‘absolutely no disciplinary incidents’ and that his absence was a planned workload management measure by medical staff. While Amoura’s long-term future remains uncertain as the transfer window closes, Strobl indicated the player is being given a ‘new chance’ and remains a useful asset to the squad. By August 27, reports emerged that Amoura is instead expected to finalize a move to OGC Nice. Following Wolfsburg’s relegation to Bundesliga 2, the 26-year-old is seeking an exit. Nice is reportedly pursuing a one-season loan deal that includes a non-obligatory purchase option valued at 20 million euros. On August 31, OGC Nice officially confirmed the signing of Amoura from VfL Wolfsburg. The 26-year-old Algerian international joins on a loan deal that includes a €20 million purchase option. Amoura, who will wear the number 9 jersey, arrives in Ligue 1 having recorded 18 goals in 67 appearances for Wolfsburg. Nice President Maurice Cohen noted that securing the player despite interest from clubs such as Lyon, Marseille, Rennes, and Al-Sadd demonstrates the team’s attractiveness. Sporting Director Roger Réquire highlighted Amoura’s versatility, speed, and work ethic. On September 2, further details emerged regarding the move. Amoura reportedly chose the Nice project over interest from Olympique Lyonnais and the Saudi club Neom. During his time in Germany, he recorded eight goals and three assists in 33 appearances.
