U-turn! Benfica close to landing Algerian star, and it's not Hadj-Moussa | OneFootball

Benfica is very close to finalizing the deal for Mohamed Amoura, the creative player from Wolfsburg. Thus, according to what has been found out, the Eagles have returned to the negotiating table to try to close the deal for the player, who has been shining in the German league and is a compatriot of Anis Hadj-Moussa, a former target of the Reds.

The news was reported by Santi Aoura, who assures that the Club of Light has not given up on signing the Algerian midfielder and that, according to him, they are in very advanced negotiations to try to close the deal. If Amoura is secured, it will be another major reinforcement for Bruno Lage.

However, so far the amounts involved in the deal have not been specified, but the press speculates that the German club wants a figure close to 37 million euros in order to let go of the Algeria international. The deal will be 30 million fixed, plus €7M in objectives.

Thus, Mohamed Amoura is back on the table, at a time when the Eagles are also considering another name for the same position. Rudy Galetti assures that the Club of Light remains interested in Georgiy Sudakov and, for that reason, insists on continuing negotiations with Shakhtar Donetsk.

In 2024/25, wearing the Wolfsburg shirt, Mohamed Amoura - currently valued at 32 million euros - played a total of 34 matches. In total, during the 2,729 minutes he was on the pitch, he scored 10 goals and made nine assists.
