While Elye Wahi was expected to leave Olympique de Marseille this winter, his departure for Eintracht Frankfurt now seems out of reach. The negotiations, which had raised many expectations, were ultimately unsuccessful, leaving a certain mystery surrounding the reasons for this failure. Is it a financial question, a sporting choice, or a simple bluff on the part of the German club? The case ended abruptly, to the surprise of many observers.

OM rejects an offer of 20 million euros

According to Florian Plettenberg (Sky Germany), OM refused an offer of 20 million euros made by Frankfurt for the striker. The Marseille club, which had paid 25 million euros for Wahi this summer, was hoping for a larger sum. However, Frankfurt does not intend to increase its offer and is now exploring other offensive avenues.

This refusal places Olympique de Marseille in a delicate situation. Wahi, author of 3 goals in 13 Ligue 1 matches, did not convince under the orders of Roberto De Zerbi. With this decision, the Marseille club could have difficulty finding another buyer by the end of the transfer window.

Wahi's future remains uncertain

If Frankfurt really abandons this file, OM could be forced to review its financial ambitions. However, some believe that this posture could be a bluff by the German club to lower the price of the player.

Ten days before the transfer window closes, Wahi's future remains up in the air. Marseille will have to quickly find a solution to unblock a file which, for the moment, has not kept its promises.
