Amoura set for Niza move from Wolfsburg with €20m buy option
Mohammed Amoura is on course to join Niza on loan from Wolfsburg, with a €20m buy option, according to L'Équipe.
Mohammed Amoura is set to leave Wolfsburg and join Niza, with the deal expected to move quickly at the start of the week. As L’Équipe reports, the Algerian forward was Niza’s latest priority up top and the transfer is now in its closing stretch.
Near miss for Niza
The process almost changed at the last minute. The Al-Sadd side from Qatar made a serious attempt to hijack the deal with strong financial offers, pushing hard until the end—but ultimately they couldn’t get their man. The article explains that despite Al-Sadd’s late pressure, Niza managed to keep control of the negotiations.
In terms of timing, Amoura arrives on Sunday in the French Riviera, and will undergo his medical the following day, before final paperwork.
Loan, with a €20m option
As anticipated, the 26-year-old leaves Wolfsburg, now down to the 2. Bundesliga. His next stop will be Niza on loan, with an option to buy for €20 million.
It’s the kind of signing that gives the club immediate attacking support, while keeping the decision on the long-term commitment tied to results.
