Elye Wahi

In August 2026, reports converged on a loan-to-buy agreement for OGC Nice with an option set at €15 million. During the same period, Eintracht Frankfurt's asking price was cited variably at €25 million, €15 million, €20 million, and as low as 'almost €10 million'. Earlier, in April 2026, Frankfurt's asking price was reported to be up to €25 million, with a willingness to negotiate from €15 million, and a separate report mentioned a purchase option for Nice at €12 million. Transfermarkt values have been cited between €12 million and €18 million throughout 2025 and 2026. Historically, the player's completed transfers include a €1.5 million loan fee from Frankfurt to Nice in January 2026, a €25 million move from Lens to Marseille in August 2024, and a €30 million transfer from Montpellier to Lens in August 2023.

Our valuation is driven by multiple consistent reports from August 2026 indicating that a loan agreement between Eintracht Frankfurt and OGC Nice includes a purchase option set at €15 million. While Frankfurt's asking price has been reported in a wide range from nearly €10 million up to €25 million, the €15 million figure appears to be the point of agreement. The player's strong desire to join Nice is a significant factor, likely compelling Frankfurt to accept a fee well below their initial investment in Elye Wahi.
