Report: 25-year-old now in talks with European giant, months after struggling at Leeds

Italian publication Calcio Mercato reports that Juventus is in contact with Weston McKennie’s representation despite the player being ‘dumped’ by the Old Lady and put on loan to Leeds United last season, where he failed.

While playing for Juventus during the first half of 22–23, McKennie, 25, started 16 times in all competitions before joining Leeds. He participated in 20 games for Leeds, but his performance was poor and he struggled at Elland Road.

 

His fitness was constantly questioned, and McKennie’s friends even got into Twitter arguments with Leeds supporters when he was on loan.It was anticipated that the USA star would ultimately go when he returned to Juventus.

But McKennie has played in each of Juve’s eight Serie A games, including the last six starts. Perhaps aided by the scandals involving Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli, two other Juventus midfielders. Juve is without choices.

The slower pace of Italian football may have also aided McKennie’s form, which has been strong. CM now claim that McKennie is the subject of fresh discussions for a renewal of his Juve contract, which expires in 2025.

With Manuel Locatelli and Adrien Rabiot in the middle, McKennie is combining well. a trio of players, led by Rabiot, who are all major stars. Last season, he may have been among the top midfielders in the entire world.

Therefore, McKennie has a lot going for him, including his slower style of play, the support he receives in the middle of the field, and the problems involving Pogba and Fagioli that have led Max Allegri to start McKennie in the middle of the park.

McKennie, however, should also be given some praise. His performance is outstanding. He swiftly got his career back on track by kicking the Leeds stint to the curb. Kennie, it’s too bad we never got to see you.
