This summer, OM went to great lengths to secure the services of Elye Wahi. The striker, transferred for the tidy sum of €25M, arrived in Canebière crowned with the status of a promising nugget, but not yet quite polished. However, OM could find it difficult to part with it in the coming seasons. According to journalist Romain Molina, Wahi has a reputation that is, to say the least, delicate behind the scenes.
This is a scenario that could have upset the balance of forces in Ligue 1. In the summer of 2023, Elye Wahithe young prodigy from Montpellier, could have packed his bags in Paris. THE PSG had checked his name at the top of his list to energize his left lane and offer valuable support to Kylian Mbappé. Several elements seemed to work in favor of such a transfer. Opportunities had emerged, and the project seemed tailor-made for the precocious talent of Place. But, against all expectations, the operation never saw the light of day, leaving Parisian supporters wondering what this formidable alliance could have been on the attack front. From now on, Place is at loon and the Marseille club got into quite a problem according to Romain Molina.
“Mendes took revenge and spoke about the dirtiest issues to all the clubs”
« Basically, PSG must do Elye Wahi because relations with Montpellier are good. And because Wahi's new agent is very close to Nasser's people. His former agent, Jorge Mendes took revenge and spoke about the dirtiest issues to all the clubs. That’s why PSG didn’t do it and did Barcola,” declared Romain Molina on his channel YouTube. For him, loon will have a hard time returning Place.
“Good luck to Marseille in reselling it”
« There it was only OM who wanted it… Good luck to Marseille in selling Elye Wahi! », the conclusion Romain Molina. LOON could therefore be faced with a huge problem.
