With Wahi & Bellingham: Under-21 professionals with the most seasons in top leagues in 2022/23
This season and last, Ligue 1 turned out to be the most important foreign market for Bundesliga clubs. Both in the past and in the current season, just as many players came from the French to the German Oberhaus as from the 2nd Bundesliga. And Montpellier also appears again and again as a contact point for clubs in this country. This season Jonas Omlin (Gladbach), Nicolas Cozza (Wolfsburg) and Florent Mollet (Schalke), who has meanwhile moved on to FC Nantes, came to the German Belle Floor. In recent years it has been Ellyes Skhiri (Cologne), Nordi Mukiele (Leipzig, now PSG) and Jérôme Roussillon (Wolfsburg).
Wahi, meanwhile, would have the potential to become Montpellier’s new record exit in the summer. The market value of the home-grown plant tripled in the course of the last calendar year alone, from 6 million to 18 million euros. Mukiele is listed as the most expensive departure of the MHSC so far with the 16 million euros paid by Leipzig. In its history, BVB has only paid five times a fee for a player up to and including 20 years that is higher than Wahi’s current estimate. In any case, there is speculation about a necessary sum of around 30 million euros, which the black and yellow also paid for Karim Adeyemi. Arsenal and Tottenham are mentioned as other interested parties. Wahi’s contract in France runs until 2025.
