Juventus has received a dual transfer proposal from the Premier League. Nottingham Forest has initiated discussions regarding the potential signings of Timothy Weah and Samuel Mbangula. Both players are currently participating in the Club World Cup, where Juventus, managed by Igor Tudor, has secured progression to the next stage after two group-stage victories.

According to “Sky Sport,” negotiations with the English club are well underway. The proposed deal is reportedly valued between 22 and 23 million euros, with 14 million allocated for Weah and 8 million for the young Belgian. While a final agreement has yet to be reached, discussions are advancing positively.

Samuel Mbangula caught attention during the first half of last season, drawing interest from clubs such as Bournemouth, Bayer Leverkusen, RB Leipzig, and Bologna. However, after the managerial swap from Thiago Motta to Igor Tudor, he played only 4 minutes, reopening the door for a potential transfer. Nottingham Forest has stepped in to explore the opportunity further.

An unexpected development in this scenario is the inclusion of Timothy Weah in the talks. The American player featured in 42 matches and scored 6 goals, although his consistency has been questioned. Juventus might consider offloading him to generate funds for other squad reinforcements.

Currently, a possible hurdle in the transfer is Weah’s own uncertainty about moving to England. Despite that, communication between the two clubs remains ongoing, and changes in the situation could occur at any moment.
