Two problems, one common solution? We’re not there yet, but we can tell you that the positions have gotten closer in recent hours between Elye Wahi and OGC Nice. In great difficulty since his arrival in Frankfurt last winter, the 22-year-old player is now aiming for a new lease of life. Because if the Bundesliga has often been referenced as the championship of young French players, the transplant is slow to take place for the ex-Marseillais.
Still silent this season, Wahi has once again seen his status weaken in recent weeks with exclusions from the group. In Germany, it was rumored that a meeting would soon be made between the player and his management, already to identify the causes of this missed meeting, then to think about the future. Initially, the player had no intention of giving up on the idea of succeeding in Frankfurt, but the landscape seems to have changed since then.
Haise convinced Wahi
According to our information, the former Montpellier has validated the Nice option, at a time when the club has just experienced a new upheaval with the return of Jean-Pierre Rivère and Maurice Cohen to replace Bocquet at the head of the club. Having had him under his command at Lens, Franck Haise undoubtedly knew better than anyone how to address the player.
It was precisely the Côte d’Azur coach who pulled on the heartstrings to convince Wahi to support this new ambition. The hardest part now remains finding an agreement with Frankfurt, which will not be easy. INEOS has no plans to return to the pot, which means that the arrival of Wahi can only be in the form of a loan. We still need to find an agreement on the distribution of the player’s salary.
