Olympique de Marseille will definitively part ways with Elye Wahi. The latest negotiations are intensifying for a nice agreement in the end.
Elye Wahi, a little tour and then leaves. In the space of 18 months, the native of Courcouronnes will have known four clubs: Montpellier, his training club, RC Lens, Olympique de Marseille, and very probably Eintracht Frankfurt. The Marseille leaders spent a copious sum to secure his services during the 2024 summer transfer window. An agreement with their Lensois counterparts was reached on the basis of a transfer for 25 million euros in cash, 5 million euros in bonus and 15% of the capital gain on a future transfer.
Only a few months later, Elye Wahi will leave Canebière permanently to join the Bundesliga. As indicated by L'Equipe, negotiations with Eintracht Frankfurt are now at the final stage. The departure of Olympian number 9 is only a matter of time and this will be done for an amount of 26 ME, with 3 ME in possible bonuses difficult to achieve, and 12% on a possible resale. The fact that Frankfurt sold Omar Marmoush very well to City this Thursday explains this financial boom.
Elye Wahi soon to leave, who to replace him?
If the sale of Elye Wahi to Frankfurt is almost already a formality, Olympique de Marseille must now look into the case of his replacement. The Longoria-Benatia tandem had several interesting ideas at the number 9 position. However, all the names recently released in the rumors are now avenues to forget. Mathys Tel, Marcus Rashford, Santiago Giménez and Brian Brobbey will not sign for OM, says RMC.
-To avoid making another casting error for such an important position, Marseille management wants to take its time to think. It is also not impossible that Roberto De Zerbi will have to end the season without a recruit to replace Elye Wahi. No “panic buy” will be made this winter, at a time when OM must pay attention to its finances.
