The fate is almost cast for Elye Wahi at OM. All that would be missing is an agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt on the amount of the operation. At the same time, Olympique de Marseille are reportedly examining the market to find a replacement, but have had a hard time with the expensive Vitinha flop (€32M). This is why the Marseille club fears a new economic fiasco with a scorer, closing the door to Santiago Gimenez, on fire with Feyenoord.
This winter transfer window is notably punctuated by the soap opera Elye Wahi in the offices of the leaders of theABOUT. Indeed, despite the fact that the initial will of the president Pablo Longoria was to keep his summer recruit at €30M, bonus included, the situation has changed. An interview between Medhi Benatiadirector of football‘Olympique de Marseille, and representatives of Place took place at the end of last week, at the end of which Benatia has indicated that it will be necessary to find a way out for him before the close of the transfer window on February 3.
OM irritated by the Wahi file?
For a week, Elye Wahi is announced close to theEintracht Francfort after being sent to West Ham et Galatasaray by the press. However, even if the main interested party favored a transfer to the other side of the Rhine, the offer of €20 million made by the German management would not bring satisfaction to the leaders of OM who would expect more in order to cover a good part, or even all, of its expenses for the transfer of Placea file which would begin to annoy the senior representatives of the Marseille club according to The Team.
OM are afraid of another fiasco in attack, is it over for Santiago Gimenez?
The sports daily provides important additional information in the series Elye Wahi. The plan of the steering committee of theABOUT would be to find a replacement for him on the transfer market, but the Marseille club would fear a new fiasco at the Vitinha or a non-flourishing experience at the Faris Moumbagna. This is why theMarseille Olympic would categorically refuse to draw a big offer for an attacker. The track Santiago Gimenezvalued at at least €40M, does not fall within the economic possibilities of theABOUT according to The Teamwho should throw in the towel.
