Juventus Secures Signing of American Forward Timothy Weah from Lille

United States forward Timothy Weah makes a surprising move to Italian giants Juventus from Lille

In a stunning transfer development, 23-year-old American sensation Timothy Weah has completed a move to Serie A champions Juventus from French club Lille. The exact fee for the transfer remains undisclosed.

Weah, who scored eight goals in his 102 appearances for Lille, showcased his talent on the world stage during the 2022 World Cup where he played an influential role for the United States national team. Notably, he found the back of the net in their thrilling draw against Wales in the group stage.

What adds intrigue to this transfer is Timothy’s family connection with another prestigious Italian club. His father George Weah, who currently serves as Liberia’s president, achieved footballing greatness by winning the coveted Ballon d’Or award while representing AC Milan – longstanding rivals of Juve.

Although born in America, Timothy kick-started his professional career at Paris St-Germain before securing a loan spell at Celtic. It was during his time with Celtic that he tasted success by clinching both league and cup titles as part of a dominant side in 2018-19 season.
