Transfer news: Juventus announce arrival of new signing Weston McKennie - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/weston-mckennie-t137414" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Weston McKennie</a>‘s journey into professional soccer is like the story of so many kids from the United States.<strong> Born in Little Elm, Texas, kicking a ball around was the furthest thing from his mind, in fact, hehad a love for Football but not the round ball version, butrather thepigskinversion, where he played peewee football before his family had to move to Germany.</strong> Weston’s father took a job near the military air force base in Ramstein and Weston moved when he was very young across the pond.</p>
<p><strong>Unable to find an American Football league in his new home, Weston found a new sport to play, the other Football, the world’s Football.And from ages 6 to 9 he played for the local club FC Phönix Otterbach before his family moved back to the United States in 2009</strong>. Upon their return, Weston had developed a love for the sport of <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer-t81579" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Soccer</a> and was able to continue his development in the game landing in FC Dallas of <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/mls-t16956" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Major League Soccer</a>’s youth system, but Germany seemed to be in his destiny as he was being scouted heavily by Schalke 04.</p>
<p>Country was not far off from club as McKennie was being touted to play for FC Dallas in MLS and Schalke, he was also embarking on his U.S. soccer youth national team career. <strong><a href="https://www.ussoccer.com/players/m/weston-mckennie" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Weston McKennie</a> began playing with the U17’s in 2013 and by 2016 he had moved from the U17’s to the U20’s and confirming his place as one of the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/us-soccer-americans-abroad-2020-milestones-and-youth-movement-20200819-0013.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. Soccer’s hottest prospects</a>.</strong></p>

<h2>Weston McKennie makes his choice to join Schalke 04</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>By 2016 Weston McKennie had found himself in a situation few American players get, he was on the Youth National teams and had contract offers on the table from FC Dallas and German club Schalke 04. He made the choice to move to Germany after much consultation with his family, the chance to play for one of the top Bundesliga clubs was just too much to resist and he made the move in 2016. <strong>To say that things moved very quickly is an understatement: he spent only one year (2016-2017) with the Schalke reserves before being promoted to the first team.</strong></p>
<p>Weston McKennie made his professional debut on May 20, 2017, as a 77th-minute substitute in a 1–1 draw with FC Ingolstadt 04. The following season he would make his first professional start and <a href="https://schalke04.de/en/team/s04-extend-contract-weston-mckennie-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sign a five-year contract</a> with the club. In his first full season, McKennie made 22 appearances playing a bit in midfield and defense. Subsequently, <strong>McKennie played 24 games his second season scoring 1 goal and even scoring in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/champions-league-t24" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UEFA Champions League</a>. This past season Weston McKennie played a total of 28 games and scored his all-time high 3 goals, being the only player to score any type of goals consistently for Schalke during a stretch of the season.</strong></p>
<p>Weston McKennie’s progression in the Bundesliga has been widely praised by pundits in the United States as well as in Germany, quickly being signaled as one of the league’s best prospects. <strong>Unfortunately for Weston his progression personally has not been able to transfer to his club. Schalke is coming off a very disappointing season and even has the young American looking for a move away from Veltins-Arena.</strong></p>

<p>On the international front, Weston McKennie has made a huge splash for the U.S. Men’s National Team. <strong>He gained his first full cap in 2017 and scored a wonderful goal against Portugal</strong>, a few months after the colossal failure that was the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/Opinion-US-mens-soccer-needs-an-identity-overhaul-20200525-0001.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">U.S. not qualifying for the 2018 World Cup</a>.</p>
<p>Despite being injured during some call ups, in total, <strong>Weston McKennie has amassed 19 caps and has scored an impressive 6 goals for the U.S. team. </strong>Without question, Weston McKennie is one of the main pieces for Gregg Berhalter and his plans to get the U.S. team back to the World Cup stage. His play in Germany has shown that McKennie can play a vast variety of positions in midfield or defense, although in his outings with the U.S. McKennie has played more in the midfield behind or with Michael Bradley or Will Trapp feeding <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/how-christian-pulisic-began-to-prove-his-worth-at-chelsea-20200805-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christian Pulisic</a>.</p>
<h2>What does the future hold for Weston McKennie?</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<p><strong>In terms of the U.S. Men’s National Team, there is no question that McKennie will be one of Berhalter’s go-to guys, especially considering his chemistry with Pulisic and the addition of Gio Reyna to the mix.</strong> In terms of his club that is the question mark, currently McKennie’s representation has made it clear his plans to join the English Premier League, and seeing that Schalke will be going through a rebuilding year he may make his long-desired move to the EPL.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/premier-league-transfer-rumors-weston-mckennie-in-newcastle-and-southampton-plans-20200824-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Southampton is keen to sign him</a>, butthere are rumors regarding moves to Everton, which has been home to many American’s over the years, Leicester City, and Newcastle, while Monaco appeared interested in early August, but since then news of a move to France has cooled.</strong> One thing is for sure, Weston McKennie has already done a lot for an American in Europe, playing in a very good German side and playing in the Champions League. If he does move it will have to be with a club that at least matches what he has done in the last few seasons, play consistently, and play in European cup competitions. Not bad for a kid who wanted to find a place to play American Football in Germany when he arrived.</p>

<p>However, <strong>Southampton are also in the race</strong>, as they are looking for a young midfielder to replacePierre-Emile Højbjerg, who left the Saints to join fellow Premier League club Tottenham. Everton were another teaminterested in the player, but apparently <strong>the race will be between Newcastle and Southampton</strong>.</p>

<p>McKennie is still young and has his entire soccer career ahead of him.<strong> A move to the English Premier League would be a significant improvement in his career</strong>, but it doesn’t depend on him. The clubs mustcome to an agreement first and there we will see what will be of the future of McKennie.</p>

Premier League transfer rumors: Newcastle, Southampton want Weston McKennie

Premier League transfer rumors: Newcastle, Southampton want Weston McKennie - Bolavip US

<p>US soccer fans mouth water when they think of a midfield that features Christian Pulisic, Giovanni Reyna, Tyler Adams, and Weston McKennie on it. <strong>For the first time in a while, the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/us-national-team-t95392" target="_blank" rel="noopener">US men’s national team</a> has a backbone of young and dynamic American players playing in the best leagues and teams in the world.</strong> A world of difference from the Jürgen Klinsmann era where it seemed that any American player that could ply theirtrade in Europe were returning to MLS and those who were overseas were underwhelming, to say the least.</p>
<p><strong>When you throw in established names like John Brooks, Julian Green, Tim Ream, and Zack Steffen the US team seems to steadily be gaining in players experienced at playing at the highest level.</strong> Something many pundits have been calling for, especiallyconsidering the US team did not qualify for the 2018<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/qatar-2022-concacaf-world-cup-qualifiers-draw-procedure-20200813-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> World Cup</a> and missed one of the nation’s biggest opportunities to grow the sport domestically.</p>
<p>This article will review those US players who have taken the right steps in their careers in Europe. Some players might be at different stages in their careers, mostly young up and coming, but each step in the right direction is a step in the right direction for the United States national team. <strong>All of these players will feature at some point in the qualification process so it is important to keep in mind that some players have a whole career ahead of them, while others have what’s coming and need to capitalize on it. What is important to note is that all of these players have hit milestones for Americans in Europe.</strong></p>

<h2>Julian Green</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="Julian Green of the SpVgg Greuther Fuerth." data-height="411" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:411" title="Julian Green of the SpVgg Greuther Fuerth." src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1597866131939/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/19/julian_green_of_spvgg_greuther_fuerth_controls_the_ball_during_the_second_bundesliga_match_between_vfl_bochum_1848_crop1597866130788.jpg_21146372.jpg" width="740" height="411"><figcaption>   Julian Green in action for SpVgg Greuther Fuerth (Getty).  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Julian Green came out of left field back in 2014. He was at Bayern Munich and made a huge splash in the 2014 World Cup scoring a goal against Belgium in the USA’s 2-1 round of 16 defeat in Brazil. Since then Green’s career took a wrong turn going from future promise to 2. Bundesliga player. Well, it has been at the 2. Bundesliga and at Greuther Fürth Green’s career has had a revival with two very solid seasons where he scored 8 goals in 51 games. His playhas fans of the US calling for him to get another chance with the US national team. <strong>Dubbed by many a Klinsmann project Gregg Berhalter has been hesitant to give him another look but his play at the club level may leave the national team coach no choice. Green has proven a very good utility player for the US when called upon.</strong></p>
<h2>Chris Richards</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="Chris Richards of Bayern Munich." data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" title="Chris Richards of Bayern Munich." src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1597866777976/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/19/chris_richards_bayern_1_crop1597866776997.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>   Chris Richards in his Bayern debut (Getty).  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Chris Richards made his Bayern Munich debut on June 20, 2020, in a 3–1 victory against Freiburg, becoming the first American to play for the German giants.</strong> At 20 Richards will most likely have a difficult time earning playing time in an already stacked Bayern squad but if he can get promising first-team minutes Richards will finally be able to solve the long-lasting question if the US national team can produce a world-class defender. Richards has been in the Bayern youth system since 2018 and coaches are very high on him. He will have to put in the work but getting playing time is key and he ended the season doing just that.</p>
<h2>Konrad de la Fuente</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="Konrad de la Fuente playing for Barcelona." data-height="412" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:412" title="Konrad de la Fuente playing for Barcelona." src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1597867179333/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/19/konrad_de_la_fuente_crop1597867178427.jpg_22069893.jpg" width="740" height="412"><figcaption>   Konrad de la Fuente at Barcelona (Getty).  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Konrad de la Fuente has been on the fan’s radar for quite some time now. It’s hard not to, how often does an American soccer player have the chance to play for Barcelona? <strong>While Konrad has yet to make his first-team debut he has been in match squads during the end of the La Liga season as well as being on the Champions League roster, becoming the first American to ever be named on a Barcelona squad. </strong>With Barcelona going through a transitional period it might be a good spot for de la Fuente to finally crack some playing time at Barcelona.</p>
<h2>Giovanni Reyna</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="Giovanni Reyna celebrates Borussia Dortmund." data-height="411" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:411" title="Giovanni Reyna celebrates Borussia Dortmund." src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1597867868976/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/19/gio_reyna_germany_crop1597867868406.jpg_21146372.jpg" width="740" height="411"><figcaption>   Giovanni Reyna of Borussia Dortmund in action during the match between Borussia Dortmund against Seattle Sounders FC (Getty).  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Giovanni Reyna on the other hand is yet another youth project that Borussia Dortmund has undertaken. <strong>Gio Reyna has featured in 15 games for Dortmund in his debut season and surprised many with his passing ability and patience on the ball.</strong> The son of former US national team star Claudio Reyna, Giovanni has the red, white, and blue tattooed in his blood. Playing meaningful minutes like he did this season and scoring two goals already in preseason will put him in a good sport to truly claim his place in the starting 11 at Dortmund next season.</p>
<h2 class="text speakable">Weston McKennie</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="Weston McKennie playing for Schalke 04." data-height="411" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:411" title="Weston McKennie playing for Schalke 04." src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1597868004405/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/19/weston_mckennie_crop1597868003975.jpg_21146372.jpg" width="740" height="411"><figcaption>   Weston McKennie may be on the move this offseason (Getty).  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Weston McKennie has established himself as a very solid player for Schalke 04. After four seasons and 75 games and 4 goals, McKennie’s good play has left him at a crossroads. </strong>Continue playing for a struggling Schalke side, one in which he was the only player to score for the team consistently for a stretch of games this season, or make a move and get out of his comfort zone. He has various suitors in Germany, England, and France. Like many American’s who make moves, he will need to find the right fit as he will command a hefty transfer for an American player.</p>
<h2>Tyler Adams</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">  <img loading="lazy" alt="Tyler Adams celebrates Leipzig." data-height="411" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:411" title="Tyler Adams celebrates Leipzig." src="https://bolavip.com/__export/1597868202170/sites/bolavip/img/2020/08/19/tyler_adams_1_crop1597868201687.jpg_21146372.jpg" width="740" height="411"><figcaption>   Tyler Adams celebrates with teammates after scoring his team’s second goal during the UEFA Champions League Quarter Final match between RB Leipzig and Atlético de Madrid (Getty).  </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Tyler Adams became the second American to ever play a Champions League semi-final, the first being DaMarcus Beasley when he was at PSV. Adams’s</strong><a href="https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2020/08/before-they-were-stars-tyler-adams" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> talent comes with no question</a> he has been one of RB Leipzig’s best players when healthy. That has been the key, he has found himself in and out of the lineup due to minor injuries he has yet to play a full season healthy. Scoring goals in clutch Champions League games will keep him in the conversation. He needs to stay healthy and get a full season under his belt.</p>

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/soccer/how-christian-pulisic-began-to-prove-his-worth-at-chelsea-20200805-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Christian Pulisic</a> needs no introduction. He has had a stellar first season at Chelsea. Like Adams, he had some nagging injuries but he hit many milestones while at the club: <strong>He became the first American to score in the FA Cup final as well as scoring the most Premier League goals for a 20-year-old in one season. He is also the youngest player at Chelsea to ever score a hat-trick. </strong>So despite being benched in the early going of the season Pulisic has proven his worth. It’s safe to assume he will be the centerpiece of the US national team’s hopes come CONCACAF World Cup Qualifying.</p>
