The American international, who has experienced a significant turnaround in his fortunes while playing in Turin this season, is currently under contract in Italy until the summer of 2025. With no contract extension finalized yet, Juventus might find themselves compelled to consider selling him during the upcoming transfer window.

McKennie’s resurgence during the 2023-24 season has attracted attention from several clubs, including Manchester United, Fulham, and Arsenal, according to reports from Tuttomercatoweb. The 25-year-old, who previously had a loan stint at Leeds in England, is drawing interest due to his improved performances.

Additionally, it’s been suggested that McKennie has caught the eye of clubs in Germany, including RB Leipzig and Dortmund, who are monitoring his situation closely. A potential move to Dortmund could see him reunite with fellow American Reyna, who is set to return to Signal Iduna Park after a loan spell at Nottingham Forest.

Despite the speculation surrounding his future, Juventus remains hopeful of convincing McKennie to commit to a new contract. His versatility and contributions to the team have been highlighted this season as he excels in various roles under the management of Massimiliano Allegri, showcasing his skills both defensively and offensively.
