Timothy Weah signs for Juventus to follow in his father’s footsteps. The 23-year-old winger moves from Lille to Turin.
Juventus bring in son of Milan legend
Father George followed the same path by making the switch from Paris Saint-Germain to AC Milan in 1995. There he caused a furore by scoring 46 times in 114 Serie A matches. While playing for Milan, he won the Ballon d’Or in 1995.
Son Timothy was not so productive last season. In 29 Ligue 1 games, the right winger did not score and provided two assists. United States coach Gregg Berhalter already advised Weah to leave Lille last week .
So that’s going to happen now. If Weah passes the medical examination, he will sign a five-year contract with La Vecchia Signora. According to Italian media, Juventus is tapping about twelve million euros for the American international.
Juve fan Zaniolo flirts with returning to Italy: “Pogba my idol”
The marriage between Nicolò Zaniolo and Galatasaray could well be limited to a four-month time frame. The Italian attacker emphatically flirts with a return to his native country.
The 23-year-old Zaniolo signed a contract with ‘Gala’ on February 8, which took him over from AS Roma for fifteen million euros. Despite the fact that his contract with Galatasaray runs until mid-2027, he is already hinting at a departure. I am happy in Istanbul and will play in the Champions League. But if there is an offer at the end of August that is a good opportunity for Galatasaray and for me, then we will consider it.
Zaniolo does not hide his preference at La Gazzetta dello Sport. “Juve is obviously Juve, even without the Champions League or other international tournaments. I’ve been supporting Juve since I was a kid, my idol was Pogba. Playing for Juve would make me very happy. We are talking about a big club. If the opportunity makes all three happy – Galatasaray, me and Juve – then it is very welcome. Otherwise I am happy in Turkey. I’m not going to create expectations for myself, whatever happens, it will be fine,” he said.
In ten Süper Lig games for the national champions of Turkey, Zaniolo scored five goals. The Italian international made the switch from Internazionale to AS Roma in 2018. Galatasaray would have a buyout payment of 35 million euros in his contract.
