Wolfsburg wins the start: transfer fever for Amoura begins!
VfL Wolfsburg celebrated a successful start to the new season last weekend. In the opening game, the Green-Whites won 3-1 against 1. FC Heidenheim. Already in the first game of the Bundesliga, the team showed improvements in the ball possession phases and clear dominance, which was particularly important for the club and the fans traveling with them after a disappointing last season. Analysis of the game makes it clear: Although it wasn't overly exciting, Wolfsburg's performance was consistently convincing and gave hope for a successful season. WAZ Online reports that the team's clear increase in performance certainly promises bright spots for the coming games.
But while the first game promises success, the transfer window remains exciting until September 1st at 8 p.m. VfL's squad is not yet complete and there are several positions that urgently need attention. The defense in particular is looking for a flexible player who can play in both outside and central defense. There are still a few questions that the team would like to clarify in the next few days, ideally before the home game against Mainz on Sunday.
The change from Mohammed Amoura
A central topic that is currently bothering Wolfsburg fans is the possible move for Mohammed Amoura. The 24-year-old Algerian international attracted attention last season with 10 goals and 9 assists in 31 Bundesliga games and is now attracting interest from Benfica Lisbon. According to OneFootball, the Portuguese have already reached a contractual agreement with Amoura, but Wolfsburg will still actively look for the right offer for the player.
Benfica's offer is under 15 million euros, but Wolfsburg want to get at least 35 million euros for their best attacker from last season. While negotiations between the two clubs are already underway, Fussballtransfers also reports that Wolfsburg's managing director Peter Christiansen has indicated that other players in the squad could be up for sale. The loss of Amoura could significantly weaken Wolfsburg's attack as the player has also attracted interest from other European clubs due to his performances in the Bundesliga and at international level.
At the same time, the situation surrounding Tiago Tomás, who is aiming to return to VfB Stuttgart, and Jonas Wind, who will miss the DFB Cup against SV Hemelingen due to thigh problems, must also be monitored. Wolfsburg is facing an exciting week in which there could be a lot of movement not only on the pitch but also behind the scenes.
