Hungry for sport, he grew up to the sound of Formula 1 engines and the exploits of Ronaldinho. Today, with a Master's degree in sports journalism, he no longer misses an F1 Grand Prix or a PSG match, his two passions and specialties.

The end of the OM transfer window promises to be hot once again. And for good reason, the departure of Elye Wahi now seems confirmed since the French striker should join Eintracht Frankfurt in the coming hours. A situation which pushes the Marseille club to look for a new scorer, who could be Santiago Gimenez, the priority of the Marseille leaders.

While the transfer window looked calm on the side ofABOUTeverything speeds up. And for good reason, the departure of Elye Wahi should set Marseille on fire. In great difficulty only a few months after his signing, the former striker of RC Lensrecruited for €25M, should commit to theEintracht Francfort for an almost similar amount. A situation which obviously pushes the Marseille club to look for a new striker between now and February 3, the date the transfer window closes.

Gimenez, OM's priority to replace Wahi?

And a name begins to come back insistently, namely that of Santiago Gimenez. Foot Market effectively confirms that the Mexican striker who stacks goals with Feyenoordis the priority of theABOUT to replace Elye Wahi. Author of 62 goals in 103 appearances since signing for the Rotterdam club, Gimenez is a proven scorer at the age of 23. And that comes at a cost. Around €40M.

Rashford and Tel, the impossible tracks

A significant sum in the eyes of decision-makersABOUT who could therefore turn to other avenues. THE TEAM mentioned in particular the fact that Marcus Rashford et Mathys Tel had been considered by the Marseille club. But again, these two files seem almost impossible for theABOUTwhether from a financial point of view for the player Manchester Unitedand sporty for the young French striker of Bayern Munich. Consequently, the Phocaeans are accelerating to Santiago Gimenezwhich would be a very big blow for theABOUT.
