Olympique de Marseille has reportedly initiated discussions with Juventus attacker Timothy Weah regarding a potential move back to Ligue 1 this summer. While no formal offer has been submitted yet, the player is understood to be receptive to the club`s sporting vision. However, Marseille faces competition from other clubs, including Leeds United from the Premier League.
The winger, who can also operate as a wing-back, has accumulated 78 appearances for the Serie A club. A summer transfer is possible as Marseille seeks to strengthen its attacking options following a recent departure. Weah is considered a viable candidate to reinforce both the full-back position, where specialist options are limited, and further up the pitch to provide depth.
Weah`s adaptability is a significant draw. He is capable of playing as a right-back, wing-back, or winger, and has occasionally filled in centrally. His potential acquisition aligns with the club`s strategy of targeting versatile players who can fit into a flexible tactical setup, complementing potential other signings.
Despite having established himself under a previous coach, Weah saw his playing time decrease after a coaching change earlier this year. Across two seasons in Turin, he made 78 appearances, scoring 7 goals and providing 7 assists. His career includes previous spells at prominent clubs like PSG, Celtic, and Lille, where he was part of the Ligue 1 title-winning squad in 2021. He also possesses Champions League and international experience, having participated in a recent major international tournament.
