In ten days, the winter transfer window will end and on the side of OM, the last straight line may be agitated. Elye Wahi, the goalscorer arrived from Lens last summer against 25 million euros bonus included is likely to leave after six months. The Eintracht Frankfurt is very interested even if the negotiation game is in full swing, between a German club which assures not wanting to go above 20 million euros, and the OM which wants to recover its put of the summer.
Pending a final agreement which seems to be the strong trend, OM works in parallel on the question of a replacement. In recent days, a name has come back with force: Santiago Gimenez, the Mexican striker of Feyenoord. Nevertheless, and while the scorer shone yesterday with a double during a prestigious victory against Bayern Munich (3-0), the file is singularly complicated in several aspects.
Too expensive for OM, not for Milan?
First of all, the team affirms in its edition of the day that faced with the blow represented by this deal (greater than 30 million euros), OM would back up, not excited to make such a massive investment this summer. Second index which sends gimenez far from OM, the Gazzetta dello Sport assures that AC Milan would be very interested in the idea of recruiting the scorer. Except turnaround, it is therefore a safe bet that the Gimenez file is to close on the Marseille side. Rather, the sports daily evokes a “clever” deal for OM which will undoubtedly try to strengthen itself in this position with a cost and a limited risk, already having Maupay, the young Vaz and the versatile Rowe in this position.

OM, to anticipate the departure of Elye Wahi, tracks several scorers to strengthen by the end of the transfer window. But the Santiago Gimenez file is complicated. Indeed, the file seems too expensive for OM, which must also count on bulky competition.
