Deal done! Mahrez's compatriot linked with Benfica, off to Nice | OneFootball

Mohamed Amoura is on his way to Nice to strengthen the French side this season. The 26-year-old forward, who had been linked with Benfica in this transfer window, is now set for a change of scenery after conclusive negotiations between all parties involved in the process.

According to Germany’s Sky Sport, Nice have reached a full agreement with Wolfsburg for the loan of the Algeria international, a compatriot of Riyad Mahrez. The deal will be completed through a one-season loan, with an option to buy also secured at the end of the player’s loan spell with the French club.

The final bureaucratic details of the contract are currently being finalized between the French club’s board and the player’s representatives. The trip to France is scheduled for this Monday, where the African forward will undergo the usual round of medical tests before the deal is made official.

Mohamed Amoura had already been identified by the Benfica structure in recent times to strengthen the attack of the Lisbon club. However, the move to the Portuguese league never materialized, and the footballer is now instead heading to Ligue 1.

The official completion of the transfer now depends only on the successful completion of all medical examinations and the signing of the relevant legal documents. Unless there is any last-minute setback, the player will immediately join the work of his new coaching staff under the French club’s banner.
