Juventus give greenlight for Timothy Weah’s Marseille transfer

Timothy Weah is set to travel to Marseille today and sign a five-year contract tomorrow, marking the conclusion of his move from Juventus, Forza Juventus understands.

The agreement reportedly includes a €1 million loan fee, followed by a €14 million obligation to buy, up to €3 million in add-on payments, and a 15% sell-on clause in Juventus’s favor.=

The 25-year-old U.S. international will join Olympique Marseille on a season-long loan for the 2025‑26 campaign before the permanent transfer clause takes effect. His Juventus tenure included 78 appearances, seven goals, and seven assists.

Negotiations had been ongoing for several weeks, with Marseille’s offer ultimately rising to meet Juventus’s demands.

Timothy Weah of Juventus celebrates after scoring his team’s first goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League match.

The structured deal ensures Juventus receives €1 million upfront, followed by €14 million when the permanent clause activates, plus up to €3 million if performance-related conditions are met.

Additionally, a 15% sell-on clause was reportedly secured by Juventus, enhancing long-term value.

Weah had expressed a clear preference to return to France, having previously played for PSG and Lille, and rejected an earlier approach from Nottingham Forest in the Premier League.

The West African-born winger had fallen out of favor under Juventus coach Igor Tudor and was seeking regular playing time ahead of the upcoming 2026 World Cup.

Under his new coach at Marseille, Roberto De Zerbi—a manager noted for developing attacking talent—Weah is expected to feature prominently and build momentum heading into the international tournament.

Notably, the move reunites him with former teammate Adrien Rabiot and places him back in Ligue 1. Overall, the package is expected to cost Marseille around €18 million in total, contingent on add-ons.
