Juventus latest on Douglas Luiz, Weah and Vlahovic departures
Juventus continue to work on three major sales but each comes with its own unique obstacles to overcome. Douglas Luiz, Timothy Weah and Dusan Vlahovic are all in talks to leave the club and have been considered dispensable by the Bianconeri leadership. Luiz has interest from the Premier League, Weah is stuck between Juventus and Marseille and Vlahovic is in danger of being left on the fringes of the squad if he does not secure a departure.

We covered reports this morning that claimed the Brazilian's agents are set to meet in a crucial meeting with Juventus, as Everton, West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Manchester United have all been mentioned as potential suitors. Other reports from Italy suggest that the 27-year-old would prefer a move to a top club, with the implication that a team playing in European football would be ideal. Weah agent slams Juventus director as Marseille move stalls Badou Sambague, the agent of Timothy Weah, accused one Juventus director of 'creating problems' whilst the other two 'work on solutions.'

(Photo by) Reports last week suggested that the current stumbling block was the difference between the Bianconeri's demands and what Marseille were prepared to offer. Juventus are standing firm on their demands of €20 million for the American forward, whilst Roberto De Zerbi's Marseille are only prepared to pay €15 million at a maximum. Therefore, patience will likely be key in the deal as the two clubs, and the player and his increasingly frustrated agent, wait to see who will be first to budge. Milan favourites to sign Vlahovic as saga unfolds Dusan Vlahovic has been placed up for sale for Juventus. After signing for the Bianconeri in January 2022, for €70 million plus €10 million in bonuses, the Serbian forward has failed to truly dazzle in Turin. ORLANDO, FLORIDA – JUNE 26: Dusan Vlahovic #9 of Juventus FC during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group G match between Juventus FC and Manchester City FC at Camping World Stadium on June 26, 2025 in Orlando, Florida. (Photo by) Milan have emerged as favourites to sign the player and last week reports claimed the player's agent was set to meet with Juventus and the Rossoneri in key talks. The striker himself added further fuel to the fire after Milan's 4-2 friendly victory over Premier League champions Liverpool. Vlahovic liked an Instagram post from Rossoneri forward Rafael Leao, before quickly removing said like. Of course, this likely means nothing and could have been as much as a simple mistake but that didn't stop speculation growing out of the incident.

Timothy Weah's agent won't sanction Nottingham Forest move
Timothy Weah (25) is still looking to leave Juventus before the closure of the transfer window, but a move to the Premier League looks highly unlikely, as the player's agent has made abundantly clear. Weah has been the subject of interest from Olympique de Marseille throughout the summer. The USMNT international has already agreed personal terms with OM, however, talks between the Ligue 1 side and Juventus are stalling. It is in this context that the player's agent, Babou Sambagué, has criticised one member of the Juventus hierarchy. understands that the individual targeted is CEO Damien Comolli, who Sambagué accuses of causing 'problems' and lacking 'class'. In his message, shared by RMC Sport, Sambagué also accuses the individual (the agent never mentions Comolli by name) of trying to send him to the Premier League. L'Équipe understands that Comolli was trying to sell Weah to Nottingham Forest, specifically. Sambagué says that he will not sanction such a move. 'This person (the unnamed individual in Juventus' hierarchy) wanted to force him (Weah) to go where he wanted him to go. Now, out of vengeance, he is asking for a fortune and is waiting for an offer from the Premier League, which won't come and will never be accepted by us,' said the Juve player's agent.

Timothy Weah's agent slams Juventus amid Marseille interest
Olympique de Marseille remain intent on signing Timothy Weah (25), however, Juventus' demands for the USMNT international have so far held up the deal. The player's agent has now hit out at the Italian side's handling of the situation. Talks to sign Weah have been ongoing for several weeks, however, OM and Juventus are yet to find common ground. L'Équipe understands that Marseille tried to include Valentin Rongier in the deal in mid-July, however, that proposition was not accepted. Rongier has since joined Stade Rennais. Juventus have been open to a loan deal with an obligatory purchase clause valued between €20-22m, however, this figure is seen as too high for OM. Talks are therefore ongoing with Weah himself, already agreeing terms with Marseille. Frustrated by the situation, the player's agent, Babou Sambagué, has hit out at Juventus. 'Juve are a fantastic club. The sporting sector is managed by three people. Two of them have class, another one is still in search of it,' he said in a comment, via . L'Équipe understands that the individual targeted is former Toulouse FC president Damien Comolli, now CEO of Juventus. Weah will not accept Premier League move Sambagué continued, 'Two are looking for solutions, the other one is creating problems. Tim Weah, always professional, was left out during the Club World Cup. This person also wanted to force him to go where he wanted.' L'Équipe understands that Comolli wishes for Weah to join Nottingham Forest, rather than Marseille. 'Now, out of vengeance, he is asking for a fortune and is waiting for a Premier League offer that won't come and that will not be accepted by us. These are old-school methods and ones that will not work with me,' added Sambagué. GFFN | Luke Entwistle

Timothy Weah's agent blasts Juventus over failed transfer
Timothy Weah's agent blasted an unnamed Juventus director for blocking his client's transfer to Olympique de Marseille. The Old Lady are looking to offload Weah amid interest from Leeds United and Everton. The 25-year-old joined the Serie A club two years ago for €12m, but has failed to make an impact at the Allianz Stadium. He has made 78 appearances across all competitions, with 14 goal contributions to his name. A transfer agreement with Marseille for the forward looked close, but it recently emerged a deal has stalled over Juventus' asking price. Roberto De Zerbi's side are ready to offer a €15m fee for the winger, but the Serie A outfit are adamant their valuation of €20m must be met for an exit. Weah's agent, Badou Sambague, slammed one particular Juventus director, blaming him for the stalled move. Sambague believes that Juventus are looking to sell his client to a Premier League club, but he insists the player will not approve of a move to England. In a statement to The Athletic, he said: 'Juve is a fantastic club. The sporting department is managed by three persons. Two have class, and another is still searching himself [sic]. We cannot blame him. Two are looking for solutions, and one is creating problems. And we can't let that go. 'Tim Weah, is always professional, was left out during the [Club] World Cup. This person botched his [Club] World Cup, tried to force him to go where he wanted. Today, as revenge, he's demanding a fortune and waiting for a Premier League offer that won't come and will never be approved by us.' Weah's situation at Juventus suggested Leeds and Everton are ready to launch a move for him this summer. But a formal proposal from the two Premier League sides is now unlikely as the player clearly doesn't want to move to England. Weah previously rejected a transfer to Nottingham Forest after Juventus reached an agreement with them. Stats from Transfermarkt

Ex-Celtic star's career transfer value could rise above £20m – after snubbing Prem move for historic Euro club
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EX-CELTIC loan star Timothy Weah is reportedly close to leaving Italian giants Juventus. The American, who joined the Hoops on-loan from Paris Saint-Germain in 2019, is close to returning to France, with Marseille close to agreeing a deal for the American. Sign up for the Celtic newsletter Sign up 4 Timothy Weah spent 6 months at Celtic in 2019 Credit: Kenny Ramsay - The Sun Glasgow 4 He has since went on to join Italian Giants Juventus, but is on the cusp of an exit there Credit: Getty 4 Roberto De Zerbi is a fan of the American, and Marseille are close to agreeing a deal for the ex-Celt Credit: Getty The 25-year-old snubbed Nottingham Forrest last Month, but is open to the prospect of rejoining Ligue 1 for the third time. He has plied his trade in Italy for two years, joining the Bianconeri from Lille in 2023 for just less than £10million. His career transfer value is set to sky-rocket now though as Juventus look set to pocket £13million plus add ons from Roberto De Zerbi's Marseille. The deal will likely be a loan deal with an option to buy, which could become an obligation if certain conditions are met, according to Football Italia. The French side finished runner's up to Weah's former side PSG last season, and will be in the Champions League in the upcoming campaign. Weah won the League and Cup double during his short spell in Glasgow, introducing his mum, the First Lady of Liberia, to Celtic Park for a clash against Kilmarnock. He featured 17 time in green and white, netting four goals and setting up another. He played with Celtic during Neil Lennon's second spell at the club. Lennon cut the American international's deal short though, despite Weah becoming a fan favourite at Parkhead. The winger was called up to The USA under 20's squad for the U20 World Cup , which would've seen him miss the Scottish Cup final. Celtic ace Timothy Weah filmed by teammate Kris Ajer rocking out to Nicki Minaj But Lennon decided to send Weah packing early, claiming it was in the "best interest of the team" if Weah's deal was cut short. Weah joined Lille on a permanent move after returning to his parent club, where he went on to make over 100 appearances, racking up 16 goal contributions. His appearances for Lille caught the eye of Juventus, whom he has played 78 times for. He has scored seven goals and set up the same amount of goals for the Italian giants. 4 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
