Mohamed Amoura’s standout performances for Wolfsburg this season have made him one of the most sought-after forwards in the Bundesliga, with Bayer Leverkusen reportedly among the clubs monitoring his progress.
The Algerian international, who has registered nine goals and eight assists, has quickly established himself as a key player for the German side.
Wolfsburg increases Amoura’s valuation
Initially signed on loan from Union Saint-Gilloise, Wolfsburg have since activated their €14.5 million purchase option to make Amoura’s stay permanent.
However, with rising interest from clubs both in Germany and across Europe, the Wolves have now set a €50 million asking price for the 24-year-old—a figure significantly higher than his initial market valuation.
This increase in valuation reflects not only Amoura’s impressive form but also Wolfsburg’s reluctance to part ways with a player who has become integral to their attacking setup.
Given his speed, technical ability, and eye for goal, it is no surprise that top clubs, including Leverkusen, are considering a move for the Algerian forward.
Leverkusen’s interest and potential move
Reports suggest that Bayer Leverkusen, currently one of the Bundesliga’s most dominant sides, have identified Amoura as a key transfer target.
Under Xabi Alonso, Leverkusen have built a dynamic and fluid attacking system, and Amoura’s versatility could make him an ideal fit.
However, Wolfsburg’s €50 million valuation could prove a stumbling block.
While Leverkusen have financial backing, spending such a substantial amount on a player who only recently made the jump to the Bundesliga may require further consideration.
What’s next for Amoura?
With the summer transfer window approaching, Amoura’s future remains uncertain.
Wolfsburg, while open to negotiations, will likely demand a premium fee given his impact this season.
If Leverkusen—or any other interested club—are serious about acquiring the Algerian forward, they may have to break their transfer record to secure his signature.
As the speculation continues, Amoura’s performances in the remainder of the season will be crucial in determining whether a major transfer materializes.
For now, Wolfsburg hold the cards, and any potential suitor will have to match their valuation to tempt them into a sale.
