Timothy Weah to OM: De Zerbi decisive in the transfer

Timothy Weah very close to OM: an intelligent operation?

Friends, things are moving fast at the Vieux-Port! According to Calcio Mercato, our OM is on the verge of securing the arrival of Timothy Weah from Juventus. A loan with a mandatory purchase option at 15 million euros: this is the arrangement envisioned by Pablo Longoria and Benatia's team. What to think about it? A major acquisition or just a gamble? Let's break it all down together.

The De Zerbi factor: the key to the case

Do you feel this fresh breeze since De Zerbi arrived? Apparently, Timothy Weah does too! According to the information, it's the coach's speech that made the difference. The Italian coach reassured Weah about his role, fully involving him in the offensive project. Can you imagine what he can do with a coach who knows exactly where to place him? Let us know if this bet on trust can make the difference compared to the competition.

A player already calibrated for Ligue 1

Let's be honest, it sounds like a good move: Timothy Weah knows Ligue 1 by heart. Having been at Paris, confirmed at Lille, he has already proven himself in our league. At 25, he's not arriving in unknown territory. This detail counts for rapid integration, right? And then, with his versatility (right wing, left wing, or even central), he perfectly matches what the recruitment department is looking for. But is it really the profile we were missing? What do you think?

Finally some penetration on the wings?

We all see it: our offensive sector is expanding, with Greenwood, Gouiri, and company. But let's be frank, we were missing a real winger, capable of breaking through defenses. Could Weah be this alternative, this X-factor on a wing? Or is he at risk of facing competition with the newcomers, with no guaranteed playing time? We want your opinions: does the threat of a bottleneck up front worry you or not at all?

A smart financial strategy, but risks?

Where Longoria and Benatia strike hard is in structuring the deal. A loan with a mandatory purchase option limits the immediate budget impact, especially with the DNCG watching. But 15 million is still a sum! Has Weah already proven that he's worth this ticket, or are we taking a calculated risk on his potential? And doesn't attracting an American international also strengthen our international image? Let us know if, in your opinion, it's a winning operation on all fronts—or if we're perhaps taking a slightly audacious gamble.

And you, friends: do we validate this choice?

Here's what we think behind the scenes. But ultimately, it's up to all of us, Marseille supporters, to discuss: Timothy Weah at OM, a good idea or not? We're waiting for your comments for your analyses, your doubts, your hopes. Together, we keep the debate alive—and we're already preparing for the next season with passion!
