Juventus is looking to extend Weston McKennie contract after his earlier renewal in 2025. The 26-year-old, initially expected to leave, has become vital under coach Thiago Motta, playing multiple positions this season. McKennie has contributed 2 goals and 3 assists in Serie A, along with 2 goals in the Champions League. A new deal with a pay rise is in the works.
For the 2024/2025 season, Juventus is focused on extending the contract of Weston McKennie, despite having signed him to a new deal earlier this season. The 26-year-old midfielder, initially seen as an outcast, was reinstated by manager Thiago Motta due to financial considerations rather than technical issues.
Since then, McKennie has become a versatile asset for the team, playing in various positions, including central midfielder, attacking midfielder, winger, right-back, and left-back. His flexibility has proven valuable, even though he's not the most technically skilled player. Juventus is working on negotiating a long-term extension for McKennie, with a meeting scheduled between the club's directors and the player's agents.
The new deal, expected to include a slight salary increase from his current €2.8 million per year, will focus on securing McKennie's future with the club. This season, McKennie has contributed two goals and three assists in 17 Serie A appearances and scored twice in the Champions League against PSV Eindhoven and Manchester City. Juventus is hoping to finalize the contract extension in the coming weeks.
