During the 2023-24 season, the US national team member experienced a remarkable turnaround in fortunes, seizing a second chance in Turin after a forgettable loan spell at Leeds. McKennie has become integral to Juve’s plans, though his contract only extends to 2025 and he was substituted at half-time in his recent Bianconeri appearance. Negotiations for a contract extension in Turin are ongoing, highlighting McKennie’s value beyond monetary terms.
On his State of the Union podcast, former USMNT star Alexi Lalas expressed confidence in McKennie’s future, emphasizing his versatility and positive impact on and off the field. Lalas stressed the importance of recognizing McKennie’s value to any team, beyond just financial considerations. Despite potential interest from other clubs, Lalas hopes McKennie remains with Juventus, where he believes the player is appreciated.
Juventus faces the risk of losing McKennie in the upcoming transfer window if a contract extension isn’t reached, as they can’t afford to let him become a free agent. Interest from clubs in England and Germany adds to the pressure, with McKennie aiming to shine for his country in the upcoming Copa America hosted on home soil.
