Juventus are planning to hold talks with Weston McKennie over a new deal in order to avoid losing him for less than the one year remaining on his current deal.
McKennie has made 40 appearances in all competitions this season and has been used in a variety of positions, including central midfield, as an attacking midfielder and as a second striker, as well as on both wings.
He is also the club’s longest-serving outfielder and has played more games than any other player in the squad apart from Manuel Locatelli.
However, his deal expires next year, meaning he will have just one year left on his current deal when the summer transfer window opens.
To avoid losing McKennie for less than his current deal, the Bianconeri plan to finalise the final terms of his contract in the coming days.
They hope to convince the United States international to stay by increasing his salary from €2.5m to around €3m a year, according to เล่น UFABET ผ่านมือถือ สะดวกทุกที่ ทุกเวลา. They are understood to have agreed an agreement as early as next week.
McKennie faced transfer speculation in 2022 and was loaned out to Leeds the following year, with Juventus also keen to offload him in both 2023 and 2024.
However, McKennie has made a comeback as a key player in the side with his versatility and is now one of the most reliable players in the current squad.
