Despite negotiations seemingly at a standstill for a time, Olympique de Marseille aren’t giving up their pursuit of Timothy Weah (25). The Juventus winger has been linked to a return to Ligue 1 from Italy, despite a recent impasse.
Juventus general director Damien Comolli recently said that the Marseille offer for the 25-year-old American was “not adequate.”
New reports on Friday evening, though, suggest that a deal between the two clubs for the American international may be back on the table after confusion over the initial €13 m offer. Fresh negotiations have been taking place, according to Foot Mercato.
L’Équipereported on Friday that the highest bid Marseille are willing to go on Weah is €15m, and they will not budge on that. Weah appears to want to leave Juventus and return to France, where he helped Lille OSC win the Ligue 1 title in the 2020-21 campaign. He has netted a mere five goals in two Serie A campaigns for Juve.
While a move back to France seems to be what Weah wants, he’s still under contract with Juventus until 2028.

Before winning the Ligue 1 title at Lille, Weah won that crown twice as a member of Paris Saint-Germain before a loan spell in Scotland with Celtic and then coming back to Ligue 1 with Les Dogues.
Along with three Ligue 1 crowns to his name, Weah has also captured the Trophée des champions with both PSG and Lille and won three CONCACAF Nations League trophies with the US national team.
