Timothy Weah very close to OM: A real coup in the transfer market?

Things are moving fast on our OM side! It's hard not to get carried away by the excitement when you seriously see Timothy Weah's name circulating to strengthen the right wing. According to several reliable sources - we're talking about Fabrice Hawkins in France, Alfredo Pedullà in Italy - we're this close to seeing the former Parisian land on the Canebière. By the way, what do you think of this profile?

An almost finalized agreement with Juventus

As revealed by Fabrice Hawkins (RMC), “an agreement in principle between Timothy Weah and OM. 5-year contract. Advanced negotiations between Marseille and Juventus for a loan with a mandatory purchase option between 12 and 15 million euros. Weah wants OM.”

To get to the heart of the matter: an agreement in principle has been reached between Weah and OM for a five-year contract. Solid, not a short-term gig. It would be a loan with a mandatory purchase option, initially estimated between 12 and 15 million euros, but Juve is stalling and eventually demands more with bonuses, pushing it around 16 million. Annoying detail or sound long-term investment according to you? Feel free to react!

Weah chooses OM over Nottingham: a choice of heart or reason?

Not insignificant, Timothy Weah reportedly rejected Nottingham Forest's offer to prioritize OM. That's a strong signal! It feels like the Phocean project is attracting more and more players looking for visibility and a club with real history. But is that enough to guarantee success? The emotional aspect matters, but you'll also need to perform on the field.

What role for Weah in the offensive rotation?

Roberto De Zerbi seems to want to install Weah as a backup for Mason Greenwood on the right. On the other side, Igor Paixao is also expected, a big move too, on the left. If we add Aubameyang upfront, do you also feel this depth of squad we haven't seen for a long time? But beware, with such a large squad, managing egos and playing time will be decisive. And then, Weah is not a serial scorer but a real wing player, fast and hardworking. A profile that matches OM's DNA?

A risky operation for Marseille's finances?

Let's not kid ourselves: potentially putting 16 million on the table for a player who has never really imposed himself as an undisputed starter in Italy is a gamble. But with the new management strategy - Tessier, Longoria, and Benatia at the helm - you feel they want dynamism and varied options upfront. Is it the boldness we were lacking or a risk in wanting to strengthen quickly? We're waiting for your opinions in the comments!

The floor is yours!

So, do we approve or not of this Timothy Weah deal? For you, is he the recruit we were missing, or should we have aimed for a different profile? OM's transfer window, 2025 version, finally seems to meet our expectations, but is it enough to play leading roles? Let's discuss together in the comments, friends!
