Relegation opens a door in Marseille
Wolfsburg are a second-division club now. That single fact is why Marseille suddenly have a chance here.
According to L’Equipe, the Ligue 1 side have added Mohamed Amoura to their striker shortlist ahead of deadline day. The Algeria international is still contracted in Lower Saxony, and he is said to be among the players looking for a way out after the drop.
No bid yet. Just a name on a list. But lists move quickly in the last week of August.
Try it for $0.99.
The loan route
His deal runs until June 2029, which on paper makes him expensive. A loan changes that maths entirely, and Marseille would happily take that road rather than hand over a fee they cannot really justify right now.
Wolfsburg have to decide whether keeping a forward who wants to leave is worth the trouble of a season in the 2. Bundesliga.
A familiar face for Algeria
Forty-seven caps. Nineteen goals. At 26, the Tahir-born forward has an international record most players his age would take.
Last season told a different story: 33 appearances, eight goals, four assists, in a team that went down anyway.
Bruno Genesio would get a forward who can fill more than one role across the front line. Two obstacles remain, and neither is small. Convincing the player that Ligue 1 is the right move. Convincing Wolfsburg to release their top scorer while they rebuild.
