Eintracht striker Rui Costa wanted at Benfica on Sporting's radar | OneFootball

Sporting continue to prepare for next season and still have several names on their radar to strengthen the squad. One of the players now being monitored by the Lions is Elye Wahi, a French forward who has also previously been linked with Benfica in past transfer windows.

According to Mediafoot, the Alvalade club are closely following the situation of the 23-year-old striker, who belongs to Eintracht Frankfurt but finished the season on loan at Nice. After less positive spells in his career, the player managed to regain prominence in France.

Sporting are now looking at the possibility of moving forward with a deal, whether through a permanent transfer or another loan. Besides the Lions, Lens are also keeping a close eye on the French forward’s situation, in a race that could involve more clubs in the coming weeks.

In France, there is also talk of another Portuguese club being interested in the player, although there has been no official confirmation of the club’s identity. While playing for Nice, Wahi - valued at €12 million - recorded seven goals and two assists in 17 matches, numbers that have once again sparked interest in the European market.

It is worth remembering that, after Gonçalo Ramos’s move to French side PSG in the summer of 2023, Elye Wahi’s name was considered as a replacement for the Portugal international (Remember HERE). In the end, however, Arthur Cabral was chosen.
