Eintracht Frankfurt get transfer boost as Elye Wahi is cleared

Eintracht Frankfurt have received a boost in the Elye Wahi situation, with reports saying there are no longer any suspicious findings against the 23-year-old striker.

That development could help revive a summer move that had been left hanging after the French forward was drawn into a betting-related investigation.

Wahi had come under scrutiny over a yellow card in OGC Nice’s league match against Metz, after unusually high betting activity was noticed before the game. He was even briefly detained during the inquiry, but Frankfurt are now being told there is no solid evidence against him. That removes a major obstacle for the Bundesliga club, who still want to cash in on the attacker if the right offer arrives.

Frankfurt’s plan remains to sell Wahi for around €20 million and use that money to strengthen other parts of the squad. Talks with interested clubs are already underway, and the latest legal clarity should make negotiations easier. The move could also influence their pursuit of other attacking targets, with Arnaud Kalimuendo still part of the broader discussion as the club weighs its options. For now, Frankfurt believe Wahi’s name is no longer tied to the case that threatened to complicate their summer plans.
