Happiness is in the loan. Elye Wahi (23 years old) will not say the opposite. In the tough in Frankfurt, the Ivorian was sent to Nice for six months in order to regain playing time and confidence after a disappointing debut in the Eintracht jersey. Despite the delicate season and the tense atmosphere among the Aiglons, the former Lens and OM player was able to respond on the field. He scored 9 goals and provided 2 assists in 19 matches in all competitions, thus helping the Azuréens in their maintenance mission.

Despite the Gym’s desire to keep him, the center forward, who participated in the 2026 World Cup, was sent back to Germany. Nice cannot assume a transfer, the option favored by the Bundesliga team. A loan, on the other hand, is possible. At the start of the week, RMC Sport revealed that Nice is still considering this solution. Wahi would not be against returning to his old club. But Frankfurt still needs to be convinced. This Thursday, Bild also makes a very broad point about his situation.

Frankfurt and Wahi want to separate quickly

Thus, the German publication explains that he returned from his leave and is participating in the recovery with his club. He trains normally and is not sidelined. But the idea is for him to leave as quickly as possible. Eintracht Frankfurt no longer wishes to move forward with him. The opposite is valid. Bild assures that Wahi does not want to stay in Frankfurt. Two or three clubs are interested in him but have not yet made concrete progress and have not sent a proposal. This, even if the player’s agents are active behind the scenes and lead active negotiations.

Always according to Bildthis uncertainty regarding its future is seriously starting to hit the Eintracht system. Leaders are annoyed because the situation is not changing quickly enough for their liking. They hope that everything will be resolved soon enough. Which should be the case for Michy Batshuayi (32), who is also invited to leave. The former OM player is in advanced negotiations with a Saudi Pro League team. Good news for Frankfurt, which wants to part with its big salary (€3 million). The club intends to do the same with Wahi, who will not be asked to leave. It remains to be seen where and in what form.
