We expect him to quickly get used to the pace and style-of-play in the Bundesliga. What I personally like very much is that he really wanted to come to VfL and is eager to challenge and prove himself." This sentiment underscores the club’s belief in Masouras’s potential and his strong desire to succeed in the Bundesliga.
Masouras’s Personal Aspirations

In a club statement, he expressed his joy and commitment, saying, "I’m happy that the move to VfL Bochum has worked out. I can promise the fans that I’ll give my best to help us be successful. My goal was to play in the Bundesliga, and now I’m very close to achieving that." His dedication and ambition are evident, and he is determined to make a positive impact on and off the field.
Looking Forward to a Bright Future
