    You have an error with your locator.
    Instead of

    //span[@class, 'vi-txt-underline']

    It should be

    //a[@class='vi-txt-underline']

    Also instead of presence_of_element_located you should use visibility_of_element_located since the former method will wait for more mature element state, not only presented on the page but also visible.
    Also you can click on the element there directly, no need for the additional code line.
    So your code could be

    WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//a[@class='vi-txt-underline']"))).click()

    You were close enough. But you have to make to adjustments:

    Solution

    To click on the element with text as 23 verkauft you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

    • Using LINK_TEXT:

      WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.LINK_TEXT, "23 verkauft"))).click()

    • Using CSS_SELECTOR:

      WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "a.vi-txt-underline"))).click()

    • Using XPATH:

      WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//a[text()='23 verkauft']"))).click()

    • Note: You have to add the following imports :

      from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
