WHAT HAPPENED?
The United States international first linked up with the Bianconeri in 2020. He is now the longest-serving outfield player at the Allianz Stadium. Questions have been asked of his future across several transfer windows.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
A loan spell was taken in at Leeds in 2023, with a forgettable stint at Elland Road ending with relegation out of the Premier League being suffered. It was difficult at that point to see how he fitted back into the fold at Juventus.
DID YOU KNOW?
A succession of managers have, however, found a role for him. McKennie’s versatility has been put to good use, with the 26-year-old filling defensive and midfield berths. His value to the collective cause is now about to be recognised.

According to TuttoJuve, McKennie will agree an extension with the Serie A giants through to either 2028 or 2029. Said terms will include an improved salary. His current deal is due to expire in the summer of 2026.
WHAT NEXT FOR WESTON MCKENNIE?
McKennie, who remains an important part of the USMNT as they continue their countdown to a home World Cup in 2026, has registered five goals and three assists through 37 appearances in the 2024-25 campaign.
