Weston McKennie nearing new contract agreement with Juventus, according to sources.
Weston McKennie, a midfielder for the United States men’s national team, is close to finalizing a new contract with Juventus, according to sources cited by ESPN.
His existing contract is set to expire at the conclusion of the season, but he is expected to agree to a new deal that will extend through 2030 with the Serie A club.
The 27-year-old has been a key player for the team under the management of Luciano Spalletti, who took over in October.
This season, McKennie has been deployed in multiple roles, including full-back, winger, central midfielder, and even as an improvised forward during the match against Galatasaray.
Clubs from Italy, Spain, the U.S., and England have been keeping an eye on McKennie, as per ESPN sources, but he is determined to remain with Juventus.

McKennie has earned 62 caps for the USMNT and is poised to play a significant role in their home World Cup campaign this summer.
He joined Juventus in 2021 and had a short loan stint at Leeds United in 2023.
There were uncertainties regarding his commitment when Igor Tudor was at the helm at the beginning of the season, but under Spalletti, he has solidified his position as one of the first choices in the lineup.
