Liverpool set to bank €100m for star forward
Liverpool always try to get the best deal they can and Richard Hughes is a tough negotiator. Arne Slot has told us in the past about how strategic Liverpool were in their pursuit of him to become their new head coach and all of the right questions were asked to tempt the Dutchman to move.

Luis Diaz to Bayern was a better deal than we thought The Colombian's departure to Bayern Munich was polarising for some fans, given how important he was to the team last season and in general his 22 goal contributions were a reasonable return. But since he was 28 years old and nearing the end of his contract, with Liverpool unwilling to offer him a new deal, the opportunity to sell was not something the Reds could turn down, especially not for the £65m (€75m) package that the Germans offered. It's was an extraordinary deal to agree. Cody Gakpo and up and coming talent Rio Ngumoha will be able to lock-down the left-hand side of the attack this season in his absence and the club's net transfer spend fell massively as a result. Furthermore, new signing Hugo Ekitike has also proved that he can play on the left-wing occasionally, although his main role will be playing as a striker, potentially alongside Alexander Isak.

USA's Tim Weah Joins Marseille After Two-Year Stint at Juventus
United States USA's Tim Weah Joins Marseille After Two-Year Stint at Juventus Published Aug. 6, 2025 4:26 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link United States winger Tim Weah completed his move to Marseille on Wednesday after an inconsistent two-year stint at Juventus. The 25-year-old Weah's return to Ligue 1 will initially be on loan with an obligation to buy for a fee that could rise to 18 million euros ($21 million), according to French media reports. Weah's father, former FIFA Player of the Year George Weah, played one season at Marseille — 25 years ago near the end of his playing career. Marseille qualified for the Champions League by finishing as runner-up to Paris Saint-Germain last season. Neither Marseille nor Juventus disclosed financial details of Weah's move. In 78 total appearances for the Bianconeri, Weah scored seven goals, six of which came last season. He spent four seasons at Lille, which won the Ligue 1 title in 2021, before switching to Juventus in 2023. The New York-born Weah has scored seven goals in 44 appearances for the United States, including a goal at the 2022 World Cup in a 1-1 draw with Wales. Reporting by The Associated Press.
