Weston McKennie’s productive campaign with Serie A side Juventus has led to continued discussions between the two parties over a longer stay in Turin.
McKennie and Juventus remain in negotiations over a new contract, however nothing has been agreed upon just yet, La Gazzetta Dello Sport reported. The American midfielder previously signed a contract extension last August until June 2026 and Juventus is set to further extend that deal, according to the report.
McKennie played a large role in the Juventus squad this season, logging five goals and four assists in 44 combined appearances. The 26-year-old logged 3,138 minutes across all competitions, helping the Bianconeri qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League tournament.
Despite previously being linked with several European clubs over the past season, McKennie looks set to remain in Igor Tudor’s squad for the 2025-26 campaign. His versatility saw McKennie used in a number of different roles under both Thiago Motta and Tudor.
Although he won’t be with the U.S. men’s national team this summer, McKennie will stay busy at the FIFA Club World Cup. Juventus is set to face Al Ain, Wydad Casablanca, and Manchester City in group stage play this June.
