The negotiations were long and intense, and at times it seemed as if VfL Wolfsburg had no chance of winning Mohammed Amoura. The Algerian attracted attention with 23 goals in 48 competitive matches for the Belgian cup winners and runners-up Union Saint-Gilloise, and excelled in the Europa League against Liverpool with a goal and an assist in the 2-1 win. Many clubs were interested, but according to information from kicker, VfL has now won the race. The 24-year-old is moving to VfL for around 17 million euros plus agreed additional payments.

Now there are just a few final details to be clarified before Amoura is presented as Wolfsburg’s fourth new signing after goalkeepers Kamil Grabara (FC Copenhagen) and Marius Müller (Schalke 04) and midfielder Bence Dardai (Hertha BSC). The attacker has already successfully completed his medical check and is set to receive a contract until 2029.

Everything is clear with Amoura, but a little patience is still required with Ismael Doukouré. At least: According to information from kicker, VfL has reached an agreement with the 20-year-old defensive all-rounder from Racing Strasbourg, and now the deal must be completed with the French first division club. One catch is the fact that the owners of Chelsea FC have taken over the club from Alsace, so there is no great pressure to sell. However, Doukouré has already expressed his desire to move to Racing. He wants to go to Wolfsburg.
