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.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta makes bullish Ballon d'Or claim
In the next three months, it will be known who has won the 2025 Ballon d'Or – and multiple Barcelona players are in contention. Lamina Yamal, Pedri, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski have been nominated from Hansi Flick's side, although they will have stiff competition – most notably from a former teammate in Ousmane Dembele. Barcelona won a domestic treble last season, as they took home La Liga, the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup in Flick's debut campaign. However, Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League success means that their players have an advantage in the race to claim the top individual award in men's football. Despite this, Barcelona president Joan Laporta has made it clear that one of his players should only be the winner of the 2025 Ballon d'Or award – and he picked out Lamine Yamal as his favourite. 'The Ballon d'Or has to go to a Barcelona player. Lamine is a great player and he shows it in every game. And what a Ballon d'Or winner does is show it in training. Hopefully Barça will win everything at the gala.' Image via Getty Images How do Barcelona's nominees stack up in Ballon d'Or race? Lamine Yamal is widely considered to be a leading candidate to win his first Ballon d'Or at the tender age of 18, with him and Dembele expected to finish as the top two. Raphinha and Pedri would not be far behind, given their impressive exploits throughout the 2024-25 season. Meanwhile, Lewandowski is likely to be further down the pecking order, despite scoring 42 times in 52 appearances for Barcelona. The Ballon d'Or race is shaping up to be very close, with other PSG stars in Vitinha and Achraf Hakimi also in contention – as is Liverpool's Mohamed Salah. Barcelona have a chance at their first award since Lionel Messi in 2021, but it will not be as straightforward as Laporta hopes.

Gasperini wants Sancho at Roma
Jadon Sancho is now said to be in Roma's sights. After his rumored move to Juventus collapsed due to the failed transfer of Nico Gonzalez, Roma coach Gian Piero Gasperini expressed strong interest in the English winger. As reported by Marco Giordano of Radio CRC, any deal involving Sancho would involve transfer fee and gross salary that could reach a total of €80-90 million. This is undoubtedly a significant sum for the Giallorossi. The Friedkins, taken by surprise by the coach's request, are carefully evaluating the feasibility of the deal. The player's salary, approximately €15 million per season, represents the biggest obstacle to the negotiations.
