As reported by L'Equipe and Fabrizio Romano Olympique de Marseille are interested in bringing our international Timothy Weah back to Ligue 1. Although no formal offer has yet been made for the Juventus man, the 24-year-old is understood according to 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. The wing player who can also play as a wing-back has made 78 performances for the Serie A side, but this summer can be on the move, 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 be in line with that of Facundo Medina, considered another potential recruit as a hybrid left-sided center-back/left back in the Roberto de Zerbi system. Ondoveld 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 on the round of 16 in last month's club, although he only made one appearance. WEAH, the son of Ballon d'Or winner and former Marseille striker George Weah, is known in France, after having arrived in Lille in Lille. A move to the Vélodrome would see him reunite with former teammates Angel Gomes and Adrien Rabiot.Juventus, reportedly open for sale, after he had accepted an offer of € 14 million from Nottingham Forest in June that the player himself was rejected. Although Marseille has not yet made a bid, the conversations can accelerate in the coming days after the approaching arrival of Medina.GFFN | George Boxall
