According to L'Équipe, Nice and Frankfurt have reached a verbal agreement in principle for Elye Wahi to return on loan, this time with an option to buy.

The news arrives only hours before their season opener at home to Lorient on Saturday at 20:45.

Hints of movement had already surfaced on Thursday, when an open training session prompted whispers among supporters.

Protracted talks with Frankfurt preceded the breakthrough, with the club pushing to bring Wahi back to the Côte d’Azur.
