Juventus Open Contract Talks To Keep Weston McKennie Beyond 2026

His Spalletti-driven scoring surge has increased urgency at Juventus, with Inter and Atlético evaluating free‑transfer possibilities.

Overview

  • Juventus director Marco Ottolini confirmed the club is negotiating a new deal with Weston McKennie and said meetings on his renewal are underway.
  • Nicolò Schira reported Juventus are set to offer a three-year extension through 2029 worth around €4 million net per season.
  • McKennie’s contract expires in June 2026, making him eligible to discuss terms elsewhere, and reports link Inter, Atlético Madrid, AC Milan and Roma to potential Bosman moves.
  • The American has seven goals this season, a career high, including a 59th‑minute header in Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Lazio.
  • Opta notes he is the most prolific Serie A midfielder across all competitions since Luciano Spalletti took over in late October, a rise shaping Juve’s post‑window focus on renewals after failing to land a striker in January.
