In a surprising twist, Olympique de Marseille have reportedly walked away from negotiations with Juventus over the signing of USMNT winger Tim Weah, despite weeks of talks and a deal rumored to be worth around €15 million.
According to sources close to the situation, Marseille cooled their interest after internal discussions raised doubts about the 24-year-old’s fit in Roberto De Zerbi’s tactical system. While initial talks between the clubs appeared promising, the French giants have officially pulled out, leaving Weah’s future in limbo.
🔍 Inside the Deal:
-
Juventus were open to letting Weah leave in a move that could have benefited both clubs.
-
Marseille had scouted Weah extensively but decided to prioritize other targets, including a right-back and creative midfield reinforcement.
-
De Zerbi reportedly gave the final “no” after assessing Weah’s role in his pressing-heavy setup.
💬 Club insider says:
“There was interest, yes. But Marseille are focused on players that fit a very specific tactical and leadership profile right now. The door’s closed—for now.”
🚨 What’s Next for Weah?
With Marseille out, other suitors may emerge. Weah remains a talented, high-ceiling winger looking for more consistent playing time after a mixed spell at Juve.
