Following an intensive negotiation session held overnight, Italian giants Juventus and French club Marseille are reportedly nearing a definitive agreement for the transfer of USMNT international, Timothy Weah. This development comes after the versatile player previously turned down a potential move to English Premier League side Nottingham Forest.
Deal Imminent Between Juventus and Marseille for Weah
Reliable sources with direct insight into the ongoing discussions have confirmed that talks between the Bianconeri and Marseille progressed significantly through Saturday evening. An agreement between the two prominent clubs appears to be on the verge of being finalized.
Juventus has indicated a desire for a transfer fee exceeding €15 million, a figure that includes potential performance-related add-ons. Both clubs are currently engaged in detailed discussions regarding the structure of the deal. This could potentially involve an initial loan arrangement with an option to purchase, which might transition into a mandatory obligation to buy if specific conditions are met during the player`s tenure.
Weah Favors Marseille Move
It is widely anticipated that the Italian and French outfits will successfully iron out the remaining details in the immediate hours ahead, paving the way for the 25-year-old’s transfer to be officially completed. Weah himself has clearly expressed his strong preference for joining Marseille, having already demonstrated this by rejecting an offer from Nottingham Forest back in June.
