Forest and Juventus had agreed on a combined package of €25 million (£21m/$29m) for Samuel Mbangula and Weah, but could not agree on terms with the USMNT winger. This resulted in Weah being dropped from the squad for the Club World Cup game against Manchester City, sparking a furious reaction from his agent.
"It's a disgrace. Weah is a fantastic player and fantastic team-mate. To see people acting like this for money and because they are selfish has disappointed me a lot," his representative said.
