Conditions that should put an end to the rumor. If Montpellier is keen to strengthen itself during the winter transfer window, the hypothesis sending Elye Wahi to Montpellier made noise… until it reached the ears of Laurent Nicollin. If he says he is “not aware” of these rumors going around, the president of the MHSC is not closing the doors to a return of the French striker to Mosson.

Aware of the almost zero chances that this transfer would succeed, Nicollin preferred to be ironic about the situation. “If OM takes care of his salary and lends it to us, and if he wants to spend six months with us…”, he confided during an interview for Free Midday. Lots of “ifs”, but very few certainties, therefore.
OM “believes a lot in Wahi’s potential”
Author of a disappointing first part of the season, with only two small goals scored in twelve appearances, Elye Wahi was relegated to a substitute place in the last six matches. However, the Marseille leaders maintain confidence in their scorer. “For us, it’s out of the question (that he leaves this winter). And I’m taking the initiative, even without discussing this response with the sporting side, because as a club, we believe a lot in Elye’s potential. “, guaranteed Pablo Longoria on Wednesday, during his traditional mid-season review.
Snatched from Lens for more than 25 million euros during the summer, there is therefore no question of selling him off during the winter transfer window. “With Elye Wahi, we have one of the best young strikers in Europe. I have a lot of confidence in his future and the fact that he will end up establishing himself in this club because he has all the qualities for,” added the Olympian president. Enough to put an end to the rumor.
