L’Olympique de Marseille is about to formalize the arrival of Timothy Weah, a 24-year-old attacker who already knows Ligue 1 for his visit to LOSC. According to the information of the Italian media Calcio Mercato, an agreement is under way with Juventus Turin for a loan with compulsory purchase option of 15 million euros. This financial strategy would allow OM to strengthen its offensive sector without immediately spending all its resources, a major asset for the club. The operation is expected to be completed in the coming days, marking the first offensive recruit of the De Zerbi era in Marseille.

The new coach of Olympique de Marseille, Roberto De Zerbi, played a key role in negotiating this transfer. He would have been able to convince the American player with his clear play project and precise tactical positioning, elements that particularly seduced Timothy Weah. The Italian technician presented a convincing vision of the game to be adopted, which strongly influenced the player’s decision to join the Phocean club.

This arrival is seen as an important reinforcement for the Marseille attack, and represents a strategic bet for the club. The agreement with Juventus Turin, including the purchase option, offers an interesting financial flexibility for OM. De Zerbi seems to have identified a promising and affordable profile, as suggested by a recent statement regarding the possibility of finding younger and cheaper profiles. The arrival of Weah is therefore a strong signal of the offensive ambitions of the Olympique de Marseille for the new season.
