The 21-year-old striker signed up for five seasons with Olympique de Marseille this summer, for 25 million euros excluding bonuses. For the moment, the former Montpellier player is disappointing – 2 goals and 1 assist in 10 matches – and even seems behind Neal Maupay – 2 goals and 2 assists in 8 matches -, his competitor, in the mind of Roberto De Zerbi.
On his channel YouTubejournalist Romain Molina revealed that the Habs were close to committing to Paris Saint-Germain in 2023, before leaving for RC Lens. The leader of Ligue 1, currently 25th out of 36 in the Champions League, was targeting Elye Wahi thanks to his good relationship with the Montpellier management. Except that the former agent of Marseillais, Jorge Mendes, disappointed at having been dismissed by number 9, took revenge on him, by releasing files “compromising”.
PSG therefore backed down to finally sign Bradley Barcola – represented by… Jorge Mendes -, in addition to Randal Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos. And Elye Wahi left for Lens, then this summer for Marseille, which will have difficulty “resell” the person concerned in the future, according to Romain Molina, because OM was “the only club that wanted him this summer”.
Which does not prevent anything for the following summers, in our opinion, especially if the attacker wakes up this season.
