Courted by Chelsea and Atlético Madrid, Elye Wahi could bring big money to Montpellier in the event of a transfer this summer.
It should move in the coming days on the Montpellier side, but not in the direction of arrivals. Revelation of last season, with his 19 goals and 5 assists in 33 Ligue 1 matches, Elye Wahi would be courted by two European leaders. According The TeamChelsea and Atlético Madrid would actually compete for the young French striker (20 years old).
If the trend was until then towards a transfer to the Blues, who would consider recruiting him this summer to lend him in stride to Strasbourg, the Colchoneros would in turn have come into contact with the leaders of the MHSC. The Spanish formation would thus have offered to include a player in the transaction but the offer would not have interested the Hérault leaders.
Wahi sold more than 35 M€?
The Matelassiers should come back to the charge because they have a shot to play. According to Foot Mercatothe international tricolor hopefuls would not be “not packed” the idea of being sent to Alsace by the London club. In the meantime, Montpellier is rubbing its hands. This competition risks raising the stakes for the Francilien, valued at 35 million euros not Transfermarkt.
“I think if he were the OM striker, he would be worth 60 million euros”, declared its president, Laurent Nicollin, last May. If such an amount were reached, Elye Wahi would become, by far, the most expensive player ever sold by the MHSC. In this area, the club record belongs to Nordi Mukiele, whom Leipzig signed for 16 million euros in 2018.
