Marseille Signs US Winger Timothy Weah From Juventus

Timothy Weah has returned to Ligue 1 by joining Olympique de Marseille on loan with an obligation to buy, in a deal valued around €18 million, marking a significant step to revitalize his career after a challenging period at Juventus. As the son of George Weah, who also played for Marseille, Timothy embraces the club with a deep personal connection and a sense of homecoming, motivated by the passionate support and camaraderie with teammates like Adrien Rabiot and Angel Gomes. His career path includes notable spells at PSG, Celtic, Lille—where he won the Ligue 1 title—and Juventus, where despite limited playing time, he contributed to their Italian Cup victory. Marseille sees Weah’s signing as a strategic move to add depth and attacking dynamism to their squad, aiming to strengthen their title challenge under coach De Zerbi. Weah’s return to Ligue 1 also aligns with his ambitions to secure regular playing time and maintain his role in the U.S. national team ahead of the 2026 World Cup. The transfer reflects both sporting and commercial objectives for Marseille, leveraging Weah's pace, experience, and international appeal to energize the team and fanbase.
