Mohamed Amoura adviser claims advanced RB Leipzig talks, Sky Germany disputes report

An adviser to Wolfsburg's Mohamed Amoura claims advanced talks are occurring with RB Leipzig, however, Sky Germany disputes the report. Amoura, valued at around €20m, is currently the most expensive player in Germany's second division. The 26-year-old is being represented by DWMA agency. The adviser claims that negotiations with Leipzig are already very advanced.

However, Sky Germany contradicts this, stating that Amoura is not close to joining the German club and no advanced negotiations are in place. The conflicting reports leave the potential transfer uncertain. No information on a transfer fee or contract is available. Leipzig is looking for another striker to compete with Rômulo. They might also consider Conrad Harder's departure following his difficult Bundesliga debut.

Fisnik Asllani, a player from Hoffenheim, has also been considered. Amoura, dealing with a thigh injury, is expected to miss Wolfsburg's opening Bundesliga match. The Algerian international has scored 18 goals and provided 16 assists in 67 appearances for Wolfsburg, but his second season was less successful with fewer goals and assists.

Wolfsburg's decline was accompanied by disciplinary issues, which may have contributed to Amoura's potential departure.
