Tensions are rising around USMNT winger Tim Weah following his exclusion from the Juventus squad — and his agent, Badou Sambague, isn’t holding back.

In a strongly worded statement, Sambague expressed his disappointment over what he described as selfish and money-driven actions behind the scenes.

> “Weah is a fantastic player and an even better teammate,” Sambague said. “To see people behave like this, driven by selfishness and money, is deeply disappointing. It’s a shame.”

He went on to emphasize that Weah, known for his discipline and character, won’t be manipulated like a puppet.

> “As long as I’m here, no one will push the players I represent around like marionettes. I’m proud that Timo has the right education and personality to stay focused on the game.”

The comments come as speculation grows about the winger’s future in Turin, raising questions about internal dynamics at the club.
