Tim Weah heads to Marseille on loan
Tim Weah is returning to Ligue 1. Yesterday, Olympique de Marseille announced that they were bringing in the 25-year old USMNT winger on loan from Juventus, with an option to convert the loan into a permanent transfer. Weah arrives at Marseille after spending the past two seasons with Juventus, where he had 7 goals across all competitions in his time in Torino. Before that, he spent 6 seasons in Ligue 1 at Paris St-Germain and Lille, with just a short loan stint to Celtic towards the end of his time with PSG. Making this move now allows Weah to get some much needed playing time to stay sharp as the USMNT prepares for the 2026 World Cup, where he is expected to feature as one of the potential starters on the team. He has 7 goals in 44 caps for the national team. He will have plenty of opportunities to play for Marseille, who finished 2nd in Ligue 1 last season. Marseille will compete in the UEFA Champions League this season along with Ligue 1 and the French Cup. Plus, his return to Ligue 1 will hopefully add even more confidence as he returns to a familiar style of play. Weah will wear #22 for Les Phocéens and hope to lead them back to the top of Ligue 1, and hopes his success will also continue to carry over to the USMNT in this crucial final few months of preparation before the World Cup.
