Juventus reportedly makes shock decision with USMNT star Weston McKennie

Weston McKennie is now completely removed from the Juventus roster as the Turin club had been aiming to sell the American midfielder. However, recent reports suggest that this situation might be changing.

Weston McKennie enjoyed a strong 2023/24 season with Juventus, providing 7 assists in 34 games. Despite this, his performance in the Copa America was disappointing for the USMNT, and his future with Juventus was a topic of speculation throughout the tournament.

Juventus had been looking to “cash in” on McKennie, particularly since contract renewal talks had stalled late last season. The American was reportedly seeking a significant salary increase, from around €3 million to €5 million annually.

Even though he is in the final year of his contract and transfer talks have cooled, both Juventus and McKennie are now reportedly open to discussing new terms for a longer commitment. This development could potentially see McKennie reintegrated into the Juventus first team.
