VfL Wolfsburg have loaned forward Mohammed Amoura to OGC Nice. The 26-year-old Algeria international joins the French Ligue 1 side with immediate effect, as the club confirmed on Tuesday.
Amoura joined Wolfsburg from Union Saint-Gilloise in the summer of 2024 and made a total of 67 competitive appearances for the Wolves across the Bundesliga, relegation play-offs, and the DFB Cup. He scored 18 goals. He had not featured in the current 2. Bundesliga campaign. VfL Wolfsburg, currently sitting third in the table with seven points from three games, wished the attacker well for his new challenge. "VfL wish Mohammed a successful spell in Nice and all the best for the challenges ahead," the club said.
Mohammed Amoura spent two years at VfL Wolfsburg. His 67 appearances were spread across the Bundesliga, the key relegation play-offs, and the domestic cup competition. With 18 goals, he was a regular scorer for the side. His absence from the current 2. Bundesliga squad had been noticeable in the early matchdays, during which the Wolves scored six goals and conceded only two.
The immediate transfer comes at a fitting time for both parties. For Amoura, it opens the door to regular playing time in one of Europe's top leagues. For VfL Wolfsburg, who are just two points behind leaders 1. FC Nürnberg, the squad is now clearly defined. The coach and sporting director can focus fully on the remaining players, while Amoura takes on a new sporting challenge. The team's current form of two wins and a draw (WWD) provides stability.
The departure of Mohammed Amoura alters VfL Wolfsburg's attacking options. The responsibility for goals now falls more heavily on the remaining forwards in the team. The squad must maintain its excellent offensive record of six season goals without the Algerian. Fans can view the full squad on our squad page. The next chance to see the new setup is on September 5th with a home match against 12th-placed Energie Cottbus. All upcoming fixtures are listed on our fixtures overview.
The VfL Wolfsburg team now focuses entirely on the title race in the 2. Bundesliga. With a positive goal difference of +4 and close pursuit of the top spot, the objectives are clear. The upcoming home game against Energie Cottbus is the next step to maintain pressure on the competition at the top of the table. The current league standing can be tracked on our standings page. The Amoura chapter is closed, and the club's focus is squarely on sporting success in the league.
