Borussia Dortmund are being linked with a move for Eintracht Frankfurt striker Elye Wahi, with the Bundesliga rivals reportedly monitoring the 22-year-old’s situation closely.
The former Montpellier and Lens forward is listed with a current market value of €18.00m and has emerged as a possible attacking option for Dortmund, according to data indicating interest as of 18 December 2025. The reported probability of a deal is not specified, underlining that discussions remain at the speculative stage rather than an advanced negotiation.
Wahi is currently on the books at Eintracht Frankfurt, having joined the German club after spells with Olympique Marseille and RC Lens in Ligue 1. There is no public information in the data about the length of his Frankfurt contract or an expiry date, leaving open the prospect that his situation could develop, including the theoretical possibility of him becoming a free agent if no extension is agreed in future.
Born on 2 January 2003 in Courcouronnes, the 1.84m right-footed centre-forward holds both French and Ivorian nationality. He is listed primarily as a centre-forward, reinforcing Dortmund’s apparent interest in bolstering their options through the middle.
Wahi’s career has followed a rapid rise through French football: from youth stints at SM Caen and FC Montfermeil U17 to Montpellier’s U19s, Montpellier’s B side and then the senior Montpellier HSC team. His market value climbed from €3m in 2021 at Montpellier to a peak of €40m during his time at Lens, before easing to its current €18m mark at Frankfurt, reflecting fluctuating form and changing roles at his recent clubs.
If a move to Dortmund were to materialise, it could represent a fresh platform in the Bundesliga for Wahi to reassert his potential and reshape the next phase of a career that has already taken him across France and into German football at a young age.
