Nice Closing In On Mohamed Amoura Signing

Reported progress in negotiations would bring a pacey Algeria international who scored 10 World Cup qualifying goals to strengthen Nice's attack before the transfer window closes.

Overview

  • French outlet Foot Mercato, reported by Goal.com, says talks between OGC Nice and Wolfsburg over Mohamed Amoura have advanced but the transfer is not yet complete.
  • Amoura is a 26-year-old Algeria international with 48 caps who scored 10 goals in African World Cup qualifying and recorded 8 goals and 3 assists in 33 club appearances last season.
  • Nice have already added Jonathan Gauthier Hein and taken Elye Wahi on loan with a €15 million purchase option, yet club management still want another forward to add pace and long-range threat.
  • Udinese and Marseille are reported to be interested in Amoura as well, which turns any late-stage agreement into a race against time and leaves the outcome uncertain.
  • If completed, the move would give Nice a different attacking profile and immediate depth, but late-window transfers are often fluid and the situation could change before the window shuts.
