Six months and then gone? Elye Wahi was recruited last summer to fill the void left by the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. OM had paid €25M + €5M bonus to RC Lens for the 22-year-old striker. After 3 goals in 14 games, Wahi was reportedly pushed to look elsewhere by football director Medhi Benatia. Enough to justify his imminent departure for Eintracht Frankfurt.
Medhi Benatia became in this month of January 2025, and officially, the director of football of OM after having been the sports advisor to the president Pablo Longoria from November 30, 2023 and for the entire calendar year 2024. During a meeting with the agent and the mother ofElye Wahi at the end of last week, Benatia would have made a big announcement to the clan Place.
Benatia would have suggested to the Wahi clan to find a new club!
The 22-year-old striker, recruited for €30 million from RC Lens last summer bonus included, would no longer be welcome atABOUT despite the position publicly taken by the president Pablo Longoria at a press conference on December 18. L'Marseille Olympic was not going to part with Place this winter, but time has done its work. Medhi Benatiaduring the said interview with relatives ofElye wahi, would have recommended them to find a base between now and the end of the winter transfer window on February 3 as Provence reveals it this Monday evening.
OM is certain that Elye Wahi would no longer stick to the sporting project!
Moreover, the regional daily ensures that neither Medhi Benatia nor any person within the organization chart'About would not have the slightest criticism to make in terms of behavior or investment by going further. However, theMarseille Olympic would simply consider thatElye Wahi would not be sufficiently adapted to the Marseille sporting project. In the coming hours, the French striker should sign forEintracht Francfort.
