Why McKennie is a problem for Juventus
Weston McKennie has 11 months left in his contract with Juventus, and talks over a new deal are stalling, giving the Bianconeri one more problem in this transfer window. Juventus are not only dealing with issues related to Dusan Vlahovic and Douglas Luiz, but the future of McKennie is also a matter of concern at the Allianz Stadium. McKennie issue for Juventus epa11889200 Juventus' Weston McKennie (L) celebrates with his teammates after scoring the 1-0 goal during the UEFA Champions League play-offs first leg soccer match between Juventus FC and PSV Eindhoven, in Turin, Italy, 11 February 2025. EPA-EFE/ALESSANDRO DI MARCO Sources with direct knowledge of the matter tell me that negotiations over a new contract beyond 2026 have been put on hold due to a big gap between offer and demand in terms of agent commissions. McKennie blocks Juventus transfers TURIN, ITALY – FEBRUARY 11: Weston McKennie of Juventus celebrates scoring his team's first goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Knockout Play-off first leg match between Juventus and PSV at Allianz Stadium on February 11, 2025 in Turin, Italy. (Photo by) Therefore, with 11 months left before the end of his contract, the future of McKennie remains uncertain, and the current situation is preventing the Bianconeri from bringing in reinforcements in central midfield. If the two parties fail to reach an agreement over a new contract, Juventus will quickly need to find a club interested in McKennie and suitable for the American midfielder.
