Juventus are reportedly considering handing a new contract extension to versatile midfielder Weston McKennie, who already renewed his Bianconeri contract in August of 2024.
The USMNT star has proved his worth to Juventus over the course of the 2024-25 season. It had look as though he was set to leave the Allianz Stadium over the summer after the arrival of Thiago Motta as head coach, but the 26-year-old has since shown what he is capable of in Serie A.

Versatility is certainly one of McKennie’s strengths, given that he is at his most natural in central midfield, but has also covered at right wing-back, as a false nine and most recently at left-back during the 2-1 win against Monza over the weekend.
According to recent reports from Tuttosport, Juve are considering handing another contract extension to McKennie, which could potentially run until the summer of 2028 with an option of an additional year until 2029.
McKennie’s current deal with the Bianconeri is due to expire in the summer of 2026.
