Nottingham Forest have agreed a €22million double deal with Juventus for Timothy Weah and Samuel Mbangula as part of their summer overhaul, according to ESPN sources.
The Premier League club have made both players a key part of their strategy to inject energy and versatility into their squad. While the agreement with Juve is now in place, the final details hinge on personal terms being struck with both players — including salary structure and contract length.
Personal Terms Yet to Be Agreed
Weah, 25, and Mbangula, 21, are now in the final stages of deciding their futures. Forest are said to be working with the respective representatives of the U.S. international and Belgian youth talent to push the transfers over the line.
“Forest see Weah and Mbangula as key to a more dynamic, aggressive side,” said a source close to the club. — ESNP
Juventus Stars Focused on Club World Cup
Both players are currently in the United States with Juventus at the Club World Cup. Weah’s involvement has already ruled him out of this summer’s Gold Cup with the U.S. national team, while Juventus have one final group game left — a high-stakes clash against Manchester City — before the knockout rounds begin.
Forest’s Rebuild Could Include a New Striker
Forest’s ambitions don’t stop with the Juventus duo. Sources also indicate the club are actively seeking a new centre-forward to complement their attacking setup for the 2025/26 campaign.
Potential Forest Line-Up Boost
