Journalist
Passionate about football since a young age, becoming a sports journalist quickly became obvious to Hugo. He would later discover a love for the NBA, before exploring other horizons such as Formula 1 and the NFL.
Despite his mixed first steps with OM, which he joined last summer from RC Lens, Elye Wahi would have several suitors, particularly in the Premier League, where Bournemouth and West Ham would be interested. A departure of the 21-year-old striker just six months after his arrival would be possible, but in this sense Marseille would expect more than €30 million.
Mid-December at a press conference, Pablo Longoria was firm on the case Elye Wahi. Despite the difficulties of the 21-year-old striker, recruited for an amount estimated at €30 million including bonuses from the RC Lens last summer, the president of theABOUT had assured that a departure this winter was not an option: “ For us, that’s out of the question. I take the initiative, even without discussing with the sporting side, because we as a club believe a lot in Elye’s potential. »
A departure from Wahi in January?
Author of two small goals before the winter break, Elye Wahi had started 2025 in the best way by scoring his third goal in the colors ofABOUT last weekend against Le Havre (5-1). Due to a muscle injury, he will not be present this Saturday for the trip to Rennesnor facing LOSC in the Coupe de France on Tuesday. If Pablo Longoria closed the door, a departure during the month of January would be possible for Elye Wahiunder contract until June 2029.
OM expects at least €30M
According to information from The Teamthe former Lensois would be popular in the Premier League, where Bournemouth et West Ham would have expressed their interest. L’ABOUT would not have received any offer for the moment, but the door would not ultimately be completely closed in this matter. If an offer of an amount equivalent to that spent to recruit him last summer comes, then Elye Wahi could leave the club. A trend confirmed by At Minutes OMwhich indicates that theABOUT would wait for a proposal higher than its purchase price, therefore estimated at around €30M. Marseille would not be particularly a seller and interested clubs would have to be convincing to secure the services ofElye Wahi.
