RMC Sport info. Eintracht Frankfurt has found common ground with Elye Wahi. The German club is negotiating with OM in order to complete the recruitment of the 22-year-old striker, who had a difficult first part of the season in the Marseille jersey.
Elye Wahi is getting closer to the release at the end of the winter transfer window. According to our information, the 22-year-old striker has reached an agreement with Frankfurt. OM and the German club are now negotiating to bring this matter to a successful conclusion. Recruited last summer from Lens for 25 million euros, Wahi had a difficult first part of the season in Marseille, with 3 goals and 1 assist in 14 appearances (all competitions).

Despite his bad patch, the former Montpellier player is still considered a player with interesting potential. OM does not want to lose money in the operation. By signing the native of Essonne, Frankfurt would fill the upcoming departure of Omar Marmoush to Manchester City.
-Relegated behind Neal Maupay
After being transferred during the last two summers, Elye Wahi could experience a third move in a year and a half by landing across the Rhine. Passed behind Neal Maupay in the hierarchy of attackers in Marseille and victim of a thigh problem, he has been little used by Roberto De Zerbi in recent weeks.
Frankfurt was already interested in him when he left Montpellier, where he began his professional career. If the transfer of its No. 9 materializes, OM will seek to replace him by the end of January, in order to maintain a strong offensive sector.
