Football, agent Weah: ‘He wants Marseille, but there are people at Juventus causing problems’

Milan, 28 July (LaPresse) – "Juventus is a fantastic club. The sports department is run by three people. Two have class, and one is still finding his way. We won't hold that against him. Two are looking for solutions, and one person is creating problems. And we can't afford that." These were the words of Timothy Weah's agent, Badou Sambague, speaking to French broadcaster Rmc Sport about the negotiations between the Bianconeri and Marseille. ‘Tim Weah, who has always been a professional, was excluded during the World Cup. This person ruined his World Cup and tried to force him to go where he wanted. Today, out of revenge, he is demanding a fortune and waiting for an offer from the Premier League that will not come and will never be accepted by us,’ he added. Sambague then spoke of ‘antiquated methods that don't work for me.’ ‘I'm not used to speaking openly, but not doing so today would mean accepting the unacceptable and a total lack of respect. Class cannot be bought for a coach, that's for sure, but it has always been part of Juventus' history. Someone is undermining it. We'll see…’, he concluded.
