Excellent news for Marseille, according to Daniel Riolo, who commented on this possible transfer in After Foot on RMC.
Elye Wahi will perhaps soon experience a third move in a year and a half. As revealed by RMC Sport, the 22-year-old striker has reached an agreement with Eintracht Frankfurt. The German club is now negotiating with OM to try to finalize its arrival by the end of the winter transfer window. After having recruited him from Lens last summer for 25 million euros, Marseille does not want to lose money when it comes to letting their number 9, in difficulty during the first part of the season, slip away.

If he succeeds, the Marseille club will carry out a very good operation, believes Daniel Riolo. The member of After Foot commented on RMC on the possible departure of Wahi to the Bundesliga. “It's unexpected for OM. Frankfurt must not listen to us and it must happen, because for OM, it's a blessing (…) Wahi had a good first part of the season catastrophic.”

-Compensating for Marmoush's departure to Manchester City
Lacking efficiency on the Canebière, the former Montpellier prospect scored 3 goals and delivered 1 assist in 14 appearances in the sky and white jersey (all competitions combined). With often disappointing performances. Over the months, the native of Essonne lost his starting place to Neal Maupay. Recently the victim of a thigh problem, he was little used by Roberto De Zerbi during OM's last meetings.
Frankfurt was already interested in Elye Wahi upon his departure from MHSC, where he began his professional career. German leaders now want to bring him in to compensate for the announced departure of Omar Marmoush to Manchester City. The 25-year-old Egyptian striker has had a fantastic start to the season with 20 goals and 14 assists in 26 matches with Frankfurt (all competitions). In the colors of Eintracht, Elye Wahi could be associated with Hugo Ekitike (played by PSG and Reims), who has produced convincing performances with 13 goals and 6 assists in 26 outings (all competitions combined). The two French people, who crossed paths in Ligue 1, are also the same age (22 years old).
