Timothy Weah to OM: a deal that's stalling, but hope remains

The transfer market for our OM never stops surprising us, and this time, it's the Timothy Weah case that's causing a stir on the Canebière. It's said that an agreement has been reached between the club and the player, but, as often happens, there's a snag with Juventus: there's a 5 million euro gap between their demand and our offer. So, is this situation finally going to clear up?

Weah wants to come, but Juve is being picky

What is certain is that Timothy Weah has clearly expressed his desire to join Marseille. At 24, the American international wants playing time, and he is attracted to De Zerbi's project. It's understandable: at Juve, he's mostly been warming the bench and has never been able to establish himself. Therefore, a major role at OM appeals to him! We've seen players revitalize their careers here, haven't we?

But here we are, Juventus doesn't want to sell their player cheaply. They want at least 20 million (including bonuses), while Longoria and the management propose a loan with an obligation to buy at 15 million. What do you think? Is it worth raising the stakes for Weah, or should we keep our cool and wait for Juve to make concessions?

The ideal profile for Marseille's flanks?

In terms of gameplay, Weah fits the desired profile: offensive, versatile, capable of playing right wing-back. He's the type of player who can bring us speed and explosiveness on the flanks, an area where we've sometimes lacked punch in recent seasons. But it's also fair to acknowledge that his time in Serie A wasn't spectacular. So, do we take the risk or not? We all know that the transfer market is also a matter of bets...

Financially, investing 15 to 20 million in a player who still has to prove himself at a high level is significant for OM, especially with other transfer priorities. But if Weah succeeds here, it could quickly become a great deal, right? It's up to you to decide: should we push for it or move on?

Towards a quick resolution?

The case is progressing slowly, but Weah's pressure could help speed things up. Generally, when a player really pushes to come, it often moves things along. But how far should OM go to convince Juve? Financial risk, sporting potential, locker room atmosphere… It's time to discuss this together: do you believe in Timothy Weah wearing the Olympian jersey?
