Headline: Olympique Lyonnais Seeks to Block Mohamed Amoura’s Move to OGC Nice
Olympique Lyonnais is making efforts to prevent VfL Wolfsburg’s Mohamed Amoura (26) from joining OGC Nice, according to reports from L’Équipe.
Despite initial indications that Amoura was close to finalizing a loan deal with an option to buy from Les Aiglons, Olympique Lyonnais is now showing strong interest in the Algerian player.

Amoura moved to VfL last summer from Union Saint-Gilloise for nearly €15 million. Over the past season, the Tahir-born forward has had a productive run, netting eight goals and contributing four assists in 33 appearances across all competitions.
With his contract running until 2029, Amoura could soon be heading to Ligue 1, as he has also attracted interest from Stade Rennais and Italian side Udinese in recent days.
The Algerian international has earned 47 caps and scored 19 goals for Les Fennecs, although he missed three of their four World Cup matches due to a hamstring injury.
