Timothy Weah to OM: A deal gaining speed... but at what cost?

The Marseille transfer market never sleeps, and now Timothy Weah is very close to arriving on the Canebière! According to L’Équipe and La Gazzetta dello Sport, our OM is about to secure the right wing-back from Juventus, a 25-year-old player who has clearly expressed his desire to join Roberto De Zerbi's project. But as always in Marseille, nothing is ever simple... Shall we go over it?

The Weah Profile: Versatility and a Desire for Blue and White

Let's be honest, Timothy Weah ticks a lot of boxes for our squad. Versatile, capable of playing as a wing-back or right winger, he would bring freshness and solutions to De Zerbi, who likes to rotate. The guy only had 20 Serie A matches last season, often on the bench, so he must be hungry and eager for a fresh start. And above all, he has made it clear to Juve and OM that he wants to come... That's a point we like!

The Negotiations: Huge Salary and Paid Loan, Watch the Finances!

Well, you know, our finances are not those of an English club. The real sticking point is Weah's salary at Juventus, which is a bit too high for Marseille’s budget. The management is trying to negotiate a paid loan with a purchase option between 12 and 15 million euros, provided the player makes an effort on his paycheck. Do you think we should break the bank or be cautious? Let us know in the comments!

A Reasonable Investment? Risks and Stakes

We still need to ask the question: 12 to 15 million is not nothing for a player who was mostly a substitute in Turin. But with his versatility and desire to succeed, he could really become an added value to De Zerbi’s rotation. The risk is ending up with an expensive player who fails to establish himself. But if it works out, we might have the future leader of the right flank... What do you think, friends? Do we take the risk?

And Now? A Case That Could Be Unlocked Quickly

According to La Gazzetta, the latest hours have brought Weah even closer to our OM. He could be the next to leave Juve after Mbangula. The Marseille management team remains active on all fronts of the transfer market and continues to explore other avenues. So, it's likely to move very quickly, so stay tuned!
