Olympique Marseille remains interested in acquiring Timothy Weah from Juventus, but they are not planning to increase their €13 million bid for the American winger. The French club believes their current offer is adequate, especially considering it surpasses the amount Nottingham Forest had previously agreed to with Juventus.
Weah, a United States Men`s National Team (USMNT) player, has had a challenging summer transfer window. After declining a move to Nottingham Forest, he appeared more inclined to join Marseille in Ligue 1. However, negotiations have reached a stalemate.
Marseille`s reluctance to raise their bid stems from two main factors. Firstly, their current offer already exceeds what Nottingham Forest had proposed, which Juventus had accepted. Secondly, the club has already made a significant investment in Igor Paixao from Feyenoord, a player who was also pursued by Roma and Leeds United.
The ball is now in Juventus` court. They must decide whether to accept Marseille`s offer or request a minor adjustment. As it stands, Weah`s potential move to Marseille hangs in the balance, with the French club standing firm on their valuation of the player.
