U.S. men's national team star Tim Weah admits that he was a "broken player" when joining Marseille in 2025, with "getting up in the morning" proving difficult during a testing spell at Serie A giants Juventus. The USA international, who is the son of Ballon d'Or-winning AC Milan legend George, feels that he has finally found a home in France where he can put down roots. How Weah ended up in Marseille Weah moved to Turin in the summer of 2023, with Juve paying a little over €10 million (£9m/$12m) in order to secure his signature.

Weah now claims to feel "a bit like a Marseillais", having been taken to the hearts of a new fan base. He is also enjoying working under enigmatic Italian coach Roberto De Zerbi — the man that talked him into a bold move. The 25-year-old New York native added: "The coach really believed in me. He called me at four in the morning in my pajamas, on FaceTime. He was smoking, and he said, 'Tim, you have to come here. You'll see, this is your home.' And at the airport, I was received as if I were at home." Having taken in 28 appearances for Marseille, including a history-makin
