Elye Wahi could join Hugo Ekitike in Germany!

Arriving at Olympique de Marseille during the 2023 summer transfer window, Elye Wahi could already pack his bags. Lacking consistency under the Marseille colors, the 22-year-old striker has attracted the interest of Eintracht Frankfurt, who are seeking to compensate for the imminent departure of Omar Marmoush to Manchester City. Discussions between the two clubs are said to be ongoing.

OM listens, but not at all costs

Despite mixed performances (3 goals in 14 appearances), Elye Wahi maintains a high market value. Recruited for 25 million euros plus bonus from RC Lens, OM do not want to sell off their young talent. The Marseille club is waiting for a convincing offer before considering a transfer.

Frankfurt insists, English competition in ambush

Eintracht Frankfurt, third in the Bundesliga, sees Wahi as the ideal profile to strengthen its offensive sector. The German club had already expressed interest in the international Espoirs when he left Montpellier in 2023. However, English competition complicates the matter, with West Ham in particular closely monitoring the situation.

A replacement considered in the event of departure

If Elye Wahi were to leave Marseille this winter, OM management will have to quickly turn to the market to find a successor. The club wishes to maintain sufficient squad depth for the second part of the season. The next few weeks will be decisive for the future of Wahi.
