Timothy Weah has recreated his father George Weah’s iconic magazine cover after signing for Marseille.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 25-year-old has joined Marseille on loan from Serie A side Juventus. He will sign for the French club permanently at the end of the season if certain conditions are met.<\/p>\n

Juventus will receive a loan fee of \u20ac1 million (\u00a3870,000), while the obligatory transfer would fetch them an additional \u20ac14.4 million (\u00a312.5 million). There are also around \u20ac3 million (\u00a32.6 million) in bonuses, with Juve standing to get a 15% cut of the future sale fee.<\/p>\n
