Marseille strike deal to sign Juventus’ Timothy Weah | OneFootball

A deal that has been on, then off, then back on again, now looks set to be completed. As reported by L’Équipe and Foot Mercato, the USMNT international is set to join Olympique de Marseille from Juventus.

Foot Mercato understands that Marseille have agreed a loan deal with the Serie A side. OM will pay a fee for the American’s loan deal, whilst the deal will also include the option to make the move permanent for €14m. There are a further €3m worth of bonuses, if the deal is made permanent.

Marseille’s agreement with Juventus was reached in recent hours following weeks of intense talks. The deal had looked to be dead and buried at one point with the Turin-based side holding firm in their valuation. It was a situation that elicited public criticism from Weah’s agent.

However, the former Lille OSC player will now complete a move to the Vélodrome. Weah is expected in Marseille this week.
