The OM transfer window continues to get carried away with a sixth arrival on the point of being finalized … despite harsh negotiations behind the scenes.
On the Canebière, summer is more agitated than ever. While Roberto de Zerbi shapes his high -speed workforce, Olympique de Marseille is about to complete the arrival of a new face. A long -standing targeted recruit, versatile and already determined to put on the white jersey. The soap opera was long, sometimes tense, but now seems about to find its happy epilogue.
It is Timothy Weah who will engage with OM for an estimated transfer of 13 million euros. The American international, capable of evolving as well as a right piston as in a wing, represented a priority of the Marseille staff. His arrival brings to six the number of summer recruits, after Egan-Riley, Ángel Gomes, Facundo Medina,
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang et Igor Paixao. An ambitious transfer window … but which failed to come up against a wall.
Timothy Weah becomes the sixth recruit of OM
Because this file has long irritated the Marseille management. Initially offered in the form of a loan with purchase option, identical to that subject by Nottingham Forest, the deal had been refused by Juventus. An inequality of treatment denounced internally, especially since the player had clearly said that he wanted to join Marseille. Pablo Longoria, former of the Turin house, had to multiply the efforts to get out of the dead end.
OM offers Timothy Weah after long negotiations
The wink is strong: Roberto de Zerbi shared the grounds with George Weah in AC Milan. He is now preparing to coach his son in the colors of OM. A symbolic generational transition, and above all a strategic choice to strengthen Marseille offensive animation. Weah is expected to bring depth and volume of play in the right corridor.
Ordonez could follow very quickly
But the Marseille summer will not stop there. Internally, we hope to finalize a seventh arrival soon:
That of the Ecuadorian Joel Ordonez (Bruges), in defensive reinforcement. A well -launched dynamic, provided that the negotiations remain in the tempo.
