Elye Wahi, aged 22, has moved from Olympique de Marseille to Eintracht Francfort during this winter transfer window. He had joined Marseille only five months prior from Lens for 25 million euros, excluding bonuses that were not realized. The striker, who was developed at Montpellier, was sold by the Marseille club for 29 million euros, which includes 3 million euros in bonuses, along with a 12% share on any future capital gain. He has signed a five and a half year contract, lasting until June 2030, with the current 3rd place team in the Bundesliga.

The player is expected to depart from Marseille for Eintracht Francfort in January, merely six months after his transfer from RC Lens for 25 million euros. Although Marseille's president, Pablo Longoria, was initially hesitant to approve Wahi's departure, the decisions made by Roberto De Zerbi and the player's market value played a significant role in facilitating the transfer. Wahi, who had been losing his position to Neal Maupay, is set to join Francfort for an estimated 26 million euros plus an additional 3 million euros in bonuses, along with a 15% sell-on clause. The agreement is nearly complete, with only minor details pending, and Wahi is anticipated to travel to Germany by the weekend to finalize his contract.

Negotiations are progressing between Olympique de Marseille and Francfort for the transfer of the forward Elye Wahi during this winter transfer window.

An agreement is almost reached for Elye Wahi to join Eintracht Francfort where he will replace Omar Marmoush, who is moving to Manchester City.
