Timothy Weah at OM: A decisive asset this season?

Here is a transfer saga that is taking a dramatic turn in our favor! While we thought the Timothy Weah deal was almost impossible just a few weeks ago, our OM is about to close a very good deal with Juventus. But is it really the big move we all hope for? Let's analyze it together.

A Smart Financial Agreement

We know it, Juve is never easy to negotiate with, especially with Comolli who doesn’t budge. The Italians wanted to push for 20 million for Weah, and frankly, given the context, it was unthinkable for us. But the Marseille staff has managed to take advantage of the transfer market frenzy and especially the player’s desire to join Marseille. Result: a paid loan at 1 million, an obligation to purchase at 14 million, plus 3 million in bonuses and a resale clause. In total, it can exceed 15 million, but we stagger the payment, stay within the limits of financial fair play, and don’t immediately burden our budget. Not bad, right?

Weah, the Ideal Profile for De Zerbi?

Those who follow Serie A know it: Weah at Juve, it wasn’t crazy in terms of playing time, especially since Tudor arrived. But at 25, he’s hungry and comes with real experience: 44 caps with the USA, full seasons at Lille, he knows Ligue 1, and he can play as a full-back, wing-back, or winger. De Zerbi is precisely looking for versatile guys, capable of putting in the effort and adapting tactically. On paper, he’s exactly the player we needed on the right.

But do you think he will really establish himself as a starter? Or will he mostly be used as a backup for our key players? Let’s debate!

What About the Sporting Risks?

So yes, we're all delighted (and we understand Weah for choosing OM rather than another season on the Turin bench), but we also have to be realistic: he's not coming off his best statistical season (6 goals, 5 assists in 43 matches). Well, it’s Juve, it’s not the same vibe as at the Vélodrome. But will his contribution be enough to make a breakthrough in the Champions League? His versatility is valuable, but aren’t we risking lacking a true specialist on the right side?

We want your thoughts on this, friends! Is Weah a well-considered gamble, or is he a little too much of a risk for this squad?

An Accelerating Transfer Window, an Expected Official Announcement

If we are to believe Fabrizio Romano and all the serious insiders, it’s almost finalized between OM, Juve, and Weah. The player is just waiting for the green light to set his bags down in La Canebiere. He will finally (at last!) follow in the footsteps of his father George, even though we hope he will make his own mark in the Olympian history. All that’s left is the photo with the jersey and the official announcement. In short, it's looking good!
