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.
Is Weston McKennie back at Juventus?
According to Matteo Moretto, discussions between McKennie and Juventus have resumed, which may lead the team to reassess their stance on the box-to-box midfielder.
McKennie has demonstrated his capability at the high level required by Juventus. Over four seasons with the club, he has played 134 games, scored 13 goals, and provided 15 assists. He has also won three domestic cups with Juventus.
