In difficulty this season, OGC Nice, 13th in Ligue 1, should take advantage of the winter transfer window to make adjustments to its squad. Reinforcement is particularly expected on the attack front where several profiles have already been submitted internally. A name has been coming up for several days, that of Elye Wahi.
As announced by Foot Mercato, we can confirm that the Riviera club has inquired about the situation of the 22-year-old striker, who arrived in Frankfurt in January 2025 and who has only started three matches as a starter this season (1 goal). The file initiated by Fabrice Bocquet, who has just left the presidency, and sports director Florian Maurice, is progressing correctly even if some obstacles have to be overcome.
While the former Lensois, who worked at OM and Montpellier, is considering leaving to get back on track this winter, a loan could be suitable for the different parties who will have to agree on covering the salary. He is also not the only Frankfurt player who appears on the Gym’s shelves.
According to our information, discussions are being held in parallel for central defender Aurèle Amenda, 22, under contract until 2029. The former Young Boys player is seen as good potential but he lacks playing time and could want to finish the season elsewhere to increase his chances of playing in the World Cup with the Swiss national team.
