On August 13, Elye Wahi left the Racing Club de Lens to commit until 2029 to OM. Since then, his recruitment for 30 million euros, bonus included, has fueled debate. The Franco-Ivorian has only scored three goals since the start of the season, in all competitions.
Despite his mediocre performances, the native of Courcouronnes retains a certain market value. Clubs like West Ham and Eintracht Frankfurt are also considering poaching him before the winter transfer window closes. The leaders of the German team initially offered twenty million euros to secure his services.
Wahi, OM wants to recover its stake
According to Florian Plettenberg, journalist at Sky SportsPablo Longoria and his acolytes would have declined this first offer. They do not intend to recover an amount less than that which they paid to the Sang et Or during last summer, i.e. 25 million euros on a fixed transfer basis, plus five bonuses. According to the journalist, Fabrizio Romano, Eintracht would have outbid by offering a package close to this last sum.
“A departure from Wahi for us is out of the questionassured the president of OM on December 18 at a press conference. We believe a lot in Elye's potential. » According to L’Equipethis speech would no longer be relevant internally and the Olympian number 9 would indeed be on the transfer list.
