Weah targeted by multiple clubs in France and England with 15m price tag

Football News

Timothy Weah, who is considered surplus to requirements at Juventus, is reportedly attracting interest from Olympique Marseille. Additionally, reports from France indicate potential moves to AS Monaco, Everton, and Leeds United.

Juventus had previously hoped to facilitate a move for Weah and Samuel Mbangula to Nottingham Forest, but both players rejected the transfer, leading to the collapse of negotiations.

The Turin club is believed to have placed a €15 million valuation on Weah. It is understood that any club prepared to meet this price and agree personal terms with the USMNT midfielder would be given the green light to complete a transfer.

Earlier reports had already suggested that Olympique Marseille was working on various proposals to secure a deal for the player.

Now, according to Footmercato in France, several other clubs are preparing to compete for Weah`s signature this summer.

Among the interested parties is Ligue 1 side AS Monaco, who recently acquired Paul Pogba as a free agent after his contract with Juventus was terminated by mutual agreement.

Premier League clubs Everton and newly-promoted Leeds United are also mentioned. However, securing the player`s agreement might prove difficult, considering his prior refusal to join Nottingham Forest.

Tottenham Hotspur had also been linked with a move for Weah, but appear to have withdrawn from the pursuit.
