“Blues prepare €35M bid as Juventus put unexpected price tag on U.S. international Timothy Weah”
Chelsea are once again dipping into the transfer market as reports from Italy confirm that the Blues are targeting U.S. international Timothy Weah. The 24-year-old forward, currently at Juventus, has been informed by the club that he is not part of their long-term plans, sparking immediate interest from Stamford Bridge.
According to multiple sources, Weah is eager to make the switch to the Premier League, with Chelsea emerging as his preferred destination. The London club, known for its aggressive transfer dealings under owner Todd Boehly, is reportedly prepared to spend up to €35 million to secure his services.
However, the situation has taken a twist. Juventus are said to be demanding a price far higher than Chelsea’s initial valuation, leaving fans and pundits stunned. The Turin giants believe Weah still has significant resale value, despite his limited impact in Serie A, and are holding firm on their asking price.
Weah, who can operate both as a winger and a versatile forward, could provide much-needed depth to Chelsea’s attack. With injuries and inconsistency plaguing the Blues’ frontline, Enzo Maresca sees the American as a player who fits into his tactical setup – offering pace, energy, and creativity in wide areas.
The potential transfer would also mark a huge moment for U.S. soccer, with another American talent moving to one of the Premier League’s biggest clubs. Fans across the Atlantic are already buzzing about the possibility of Weah joining Christian Pulisic as the latest U.S. star to don Chelsea blue.
Whether Chelsea can meet Juventus’ asking price remains to be seen, but negotiations are expected to continue in the coming days. If the deal goes through, it could be one of the more surprising transfers of the window – and a major opportunity for Timothy Weah to prove himself at the very highest level.
