Elye Wahi is being linked with a move from Eintracht Frankfurt to Galatasaray, with the potential transfer currently rated at a 60% probability, according to data from Transfermarkt.
The 22-year-old centre-forward, valued at €18.00m, is under contract at the Bundesliga side but is listed without an expiry date, leaving open the possibility that he could become a free agent in the near future if no extension is agreed. That uncertainty has fuelled suggestions Galatasaray may try to strike a deal, with the Turkish champions monitoring attacking options ahead of future windows.
Wahi only arrived in Frankfurt from Olympique Marseille, having previously been on the books of RC Lens and Montpellier in France. His market value has trended downwards over the past two years – from a peak of €40m at Lens in late 2023 to €18m at Frankfurt in October 2025 – a trajectory that may encourage Galatasaray to test Frankfurt’s resolve, or wait to see if a cut‑price move or free transfer becomes feasible.
Born in Courcouronnes on 2 January 2003, Wahi stands at 1.84m and operates primarily as a centre-forward, favouring his right foot. He holds dual nationality with France and Côte d’Ivoire, adding potential international intrigue should he move to the Süper Lig and raise his profile further.
The forward’s pathway from youth football at SM Caen and FC Montfermeil to Montpellier’s academy, then into Ligue 1, has already taken him through several clubs and major European leagues, including Ligue 1, Ligue 2 set‑ups and now the Bundesliga. His recent valuation drops at Marseille and Frankfurt suggest he is at a crossroads in his career.
If Galatasaray do firm up their interest, a switch to Istanbul could offer Wahi a prominent role in a title-chasing side and regular European exposure, a move that might yet revive his market value and reshape the next phase of his development.
