Marseille sign Timothy Weah, set to sell Rowe

After confirming the arrival of Timothy Weah from Juventus, Olympique de Marseille are set to listen to offers fòr Jonathan Rowe.

According to L’Équipe, the two clubs agreed for the US international to join Marseille on loan for the season for a €1m fee. The deal could also be made permanent next summer for a mandatory fee of €14 million, with bonuses of up to €3 million.
