‘Leeds United ready Timothy Weah transfer battle’ as talks continue
Leeds United haven’t given up on signing Juventus forward Timothy Weah this summer transfer window.
Igor Tudor didn’t rely on the USA international a lot towards the end of last season, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him leave the Serie A outfit in the coming weeks.
Weah has emerged as a target at Elland Road as the Whites look to reinforce their attack after winning promotion to the Premier League.
Juventus want £12.9million for the American attacker, and it looks like the West Yorkshire outfit may be ready to fight for his signature.
Olympique Marseille work on Weah transfer as Leeds United in background
Leeds are in the background as Olympique Marseille work on signing Weah, according to Mirko Di Natale.
The Tutto Juve journalist revealed on X (18 July) that the Whites are still interested in the 25-year-old, but the Ligue 1 outfit are leading the race for now.
It’s been claimed that the French club haven’t reached an agreement as they continue negotiating with Juventus, potentially leaving the door open at Elland Road to hijack a deal.

Supporters are definitely expecting 49ers Enterprises to reinforce the attack this summer as the West Yorkshire outfit hope to avoid relegation.
Dan James has extended his contract at Leeds, and he will certainly continue to play a key role for the German manager in LS11 on the right wing.
While Weah primarily plays on the right side of attack, his versatility allows him to play in multiple positions on either wing.
Igor Paixao latest attacking transfer target at Leeds
Feyenoord forward Igor Paixao has been identified by the Whites as a potential addition to bolster their forward line, and it will be interesting to see how his situation unfolds.
Leeds arguably need more options up front as they could potentially lose Mateo Joseph and Patrick Bamford, who didn’t play a prominent role last season.
Weah could give Farke the depth needed to face the rigours of the Premier League, and his versatility will surely come in handy.
Only time will tell whether the West Yorkshire outfit will push to sign the USA star ahead of Marseille.
