Timothy Weah joins Olympique de Marseille

Weah Jr. Finds New Home at Marseille

Son of Legend Joins Phocaean Club in Loan Deal

After weeks of negotiations, Olympique de Marseille and Juventus have officially confirmed the transfer of Timothy Weah to the French club. The deal, which sees Weah loaned to OM for a season, could eventually be worth nearly €20 million.

The agreement includes a €1 million loan fee, a mandatory purchase option set at €14.4 million contingent upon unspecified conditions, and potential bonuses of €4.1 million.

A New Start in France
Weah, the 25-year-old son of former Ballon d'Or winner George Weah, arrived at Juventus in 2023 from LOSC but failed to make a lasting impact during his time in Turin. Despite 78 appearances across all competitions (scoring seven goals and providing seven assists), he appears set to move on from the Bianconeri club, whose contract with him runs until 2028. Marseille could prove to be the perfect opportunity for Weah to reignite his career.

Echoing History

In a tribute to his father's legacy, Timothy Weah echoed a historical moment when he announced his arrival at OM. He recreated a iconic cover of Onze Mondial magazine from 2001, which featured George Weah posing in the Marseille jersey. The image quickly went viral on social media, highlighting the cyclical nature of football and the continued impact of the elder Weah's career.
