Weah breakthrough as Juventus and Marseille talks progress

Footmercato claim that Juventus and Olympique Marseille have moved substantially closer to a deal for Timothy Weah after confusion over the €13m offer.

The French club was frustrated by the seeming change of approach because Juve had previously accepted a €13m bid from Nottingham Forest, only for the player to turn it down because he did not appreciate the destination.

It therefore confused them that Juventus refused an identical proposal and were now asking for more money compared to the Nottingham Forest proposal.
