Currently, Weston McKennie, a standout player for the US Men’s National Team (USMNT), remains under contract with Turin until the summer of 2025. While discussions have occurred regarding extending his contract, reports suggest that the proposed terms have been rejected by the 25-year-old midfielder and his representatives.

This rejection has fueled speculation about a potential move in 2024, especially as McKennie’s impressive performance this season has increased his value once again. Having seized an unexpected opportunity at Juventus, interest in McKennie has surfaced from clubs in England and Germany, where he has previously played for Leeds and Schalke. Urgency surrounds Juventus to resolve this uncertainty swiftly.

Alexi Lalas, a former United States international, discussed McKennie’s contract situation on his State of the Union podcast and speculated on his future, along with compatriot Christian Pulisic, who also faces transfer rumors at AC Milan. Lalas emphasized the importance of compensating McKennie adequately, highlighting his versatility and significant contributions to the team. He also pondered whether McKennie and Pulisic might prefer a move elsewhere, possibly back to the English Premier League or Germany, where they have previous experience. Lalas expressed his desire to see them continue in Serie A, where they have performed well both on and off the field.

McKennie has emerged as a pivotal player for both club and country and is hesitant to sign a new contract with Juventus if it offers the same salary as his current one. Juventus risks losing a valuable asset if they fail to address his concerns, as interest in the talented midfielder is likely to intensify if a potential departure remains a possibility.
