Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad is targeting a move for Algerian international forward Mohamed Amoura during the current transfer window. This follows the club's recent signing of his national teammate Houssem Aouar.
Al-Ittihad's management sees Mohamed Amoura as the ideal solution to fill the attacking void left by the departure of French winger Moussa Diaby. The 24-year-old Algerian forward possesses exceptional pace, dribbling ability, and versatility in offensive roles. These qualities make him a strong candidate to join the ambitious project led by the Saudi club, especially given Amoura's desire to leave Wolfsburg after the German team's relegation to the second division.
For its part, Wolfsburg has not closed the door on any financially rewarding offers for Amoura's transfer. Coach Tobias Strobl stated that the club's management would study any good financial offer presented for the player. Amoura remains under contract with Wolfsburg until the summer of 2029, having joined from Union Saint-Gilloise for approximately €15 million in January 2025.
Al-Ittihad is not the only club interested in Mohamed Amoura's services. French club Olympique de Marseille is closely monitoring developments regarding the player. Several Serie A clubs as well as German side Schalke have also expressed interest. One option being considered is a loan move for the player, a formula that could suit all parties in the current circumstances.
This interest comes despite the difficult season Amoura experienced, which included disciplinary issues with Wolfsburg, a disappointing Africa Cup of Nations performance, and an injury that hampered his participation with Algeria at the 2026 World Cup. He played only thirty minutes against Argentina, without getting a real opportunity to increase his market value during the global tournament.
Mohamed Amoura's recent return to collective training with Wolfsburg gives him a chance to prove his worth again. However, his transfer situation remains open during the remaining period of the transfer window. If he moves to Al-Ittihad, he would reunite with his national team teammate Houssem Aouar within a project more ambitious than playing in the German second division.
