Nottingham Forest’s efforts to secure Timothy Weah’s signature have come to a halt, after the United States international rejected the club’s contract proposal.
As reported by ESPN, Forest and Juventus had reached a €22 million agreement, which also included winger Samuel Mbangula. Yet Weah has opted to “wait for other opportunities away from Turin”.
The 25-year-old forward, once heralded for his promise, is now at a crossroads. Juventus, according to ESPN sources, are “keen to offload Weah and make space for new signings”, despite having three years left on his deal.
The Serie A side initially brought him in from Lille in July 2023 in a deal worth up to €12.4 million.
A product of Paris Saint-Germain’s academy, Weah has had spells at Celtic, Lille and now Juventus.
However, his progress has not mirrored the trajectory of fellow USMNT teammate Weston McKennie, who remains in contract renewal talks as his deal nears the 2025–26 expiry.
Weah’s output in Turin reflects a player yet to fully find his rhythm. “Weah scored five goals in 30 games for in Serie A last season, many of which came from off the bench.” His total contribution stands at seven goals and six assists in 78 Juventus appearances.
Forest’s interest may be over, but Juventus still appear eager to part ways with Weah.
With several European clubs still on the lookout for wide options, the American winger may yet find a better fit, if not more playing time.
