Elye Wahi’s start to life at Olympique Marseille has been far from the dream he envisioned.
Signed from RC Lens for a hefty €25 million, the 21-year-old striker was expected to spearhead OM’s attack this season. Instead, Wahi has struggled to find form, losing his place in the starting lineup to Neal Maupay, the newly signed backup striker.
Speculation quickly mounted, with reports from La Provence suggesting a January departure could be on the cards, with Montpellier HSC rumored to be plotting a shock loan move. Yet, despite the whispers of interest from several clubs, Wahi remains resolute. According to L’Équipe journalist Loïc Tanzi, the Frenchman has no intention of leaving the Vélodrome this winter.
Instead, Wahi is determined to prove himself at Marseille. He is committed to overcoming his early challenges and firmly establishing his place in Roberto De Zerbi’s plans. A move away? Not on the cards, as the young forward looks to rewrite his Marseille story and fulfill his potential at the club.
