According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, Oiympique de Marseille opened the first conversations with Juventus attacker Timothy Weah (25) about a possible return to Ligue 1 this summer. Although no formal offer has yet been made for Weah, he is assumed that he is enthusiastic about the club's sports project according to a report from La Provence. Les Phocéens, however, are confronted with competition from the Premier League in the form of Leeds United, as L'équipe reported earlier this week.
The wing player who can also play as a wingback has made 78 performances for the Serie A-side, but can be on the move this summer, with Marseille in the market for offensive reinforcements after the departure of Luis Henrique to Internazionale Milan. WEAH could also be an option to strengthen both with full-back-where Amir Murillo stays the only specialist and further on the field, where Mason Greenwood is currently missing a natural deputy.
WEAH's adaptability is part of the attraction: he can play as a right back, wing-back or wing player and has sometimes even filled in centrally. His signing would join that of Facundo Medina, considered another potential recruit as a hybrid left-sided center-back/left back in the Roberto de Zerbi system.
Despite the fact that he settled under Max Allegri, Weah saw his playing time fall after the appointment of Igor Tudor in March. For two seasons in Turin, he scored 78 performances, scored 7 goals and assisted another. Yet his CV Stints with PSG, Celtic and Lille – where he won Ligue 1 in 2021 – and now includes Champions League and International Experience. He was part of the American team eliminated in the round of 16 in last month's World Cup, although only one appearance appeared. GFFN | George Boxall
