OGC Nice sporting director Florent Ghisolfi has publicly confirmed the club's intention to extend the contract of striker Elye Wahi. The 22-year-old French forward, who joined from Montpellier in the summer of 2023, is currently under contract until June 2028.
Speaking to the media, Ghisolfi stated that discussions regarding a new deal for Wahi are part of the club's long-term planning. He emphasized Wahi's importance to the project at Nice, highlighting the player's development and potential. The club views him as a key asset for the future.
Since his arrival, Wahi has established himself as a regular in the Nice attack. His performances have attracted attention, making contract security a priority for the club's management. An extension would further tie the player to the Riviera side and likely include an increase in his release clause, which is currently reported to be around ā¬70 million.
The confirmation comes as Nice prepares for the final stages of the Ligue 1 season, aiming to secure European qualification. Securing the futures of core players like Wahi is seen as a crucial step in building a competitive squad.
