After Benfica saga, Mohamed Amoura set to make headlines | OneFootball

Mohamed Amoura finished the African qualification phase for the 2026 World Cup as the top scorer. The forward, who was linked to Benfica in the summer, scored 10 goals and provided four assists in 10 matches for Algeria.

In this most recent FIFA break, the Wolfsburg player scored twice against Somalia and Uganda. The victories secured Algeria's qualification for the World Cup and Amoura's four goals put the winger, who has been on Benfica's radar, ahead of names like Mohamed Salah, Bouanga, Doumbia, Ayew, and Aubameyang.

It is worth recalling that the forward had a trip 'booked' to Lisbon, but Benfica. The Algerian's transfer fee ultimately went towards signing Georgiy Sudakov from Shakhtar Donetsk.

In 2024/25, wearing the Wolfsburg shirt, Mohamed Amoura – currently valued at 32 million euros – played a total of 34 matches. In all, during the 2,729 minutes he spent on the pitch, the 25-year-old Algerian international scored 10 goals and provided nine assists, which caught Benfica's attention.

This season, the forward desired at Luz continues his hot streak. Between club and national team, Mohamed Amoura has played 10 games, totaling 716 minutes. The forward has scored seven goals and added two assists for his teammates.
