He has many years left in his chosen profession, having reached the very top there, but already has plans drawn up to open a restaurant at some stage while also becoming an R&B artist with the help of producer friend, Fleetzy. Weah has told : “In Europe, my main focus is always obviously football, but you always need that escape and space. So I definitely turn to music a lot. That’s definitely my muse. In the future, the goal is to successfully transition into music, whether that’s producing or being an artist myself.”
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Weah harbours ambitions of becoming an influencer a long way outside of his comfort zone, with there also plans to move into a creative director role with boot suppliers New Balance. The New York native added: “It’s dope that you can do other things as well while being an athlete. You don’t just have to stay In that box. And I want people to see me as not only a footballer but also as a creative. I want to be a mogul. And New Balance has given me the tools I need to succeed.”

Juve tied Weah to a five-year contract when prising him away from Lille in the summer of 2023. He joined international team-mate Weston McKennie in Turin, but his fellow countryman is seeing a move elsewhere speculated on as both form part of Gregg Berhalter’s plans at the 2024 Copa America.
