Juventus close to agreeing new deal with midfielder

Juventus are reportedly on the verge of finalizing a contract extension with American midfielder Weston McKennie, signaling their intent to keep the dynamic player at the heart of their midfield for years to come.

McKennie has become a vital figure in the Bianconeri setup, praised for his consistency, versatility, and tireless work ethic.

Despite multiple chances to leave the club  including a loan spell in the Premier League  the 26-year-old has found his footing in Turin and is now committed to continuing his career at the Allianz Stadium.

Discussions between the club and McKennie’s representatives have gone smoothly. Both parties are reportedly close to reaching a full agreement that would tie the player to Juventus on a long-term basis.

McKennie’s willingness to remain in Italy has made negotiations easier, with the club eager to reward his performances and secure his services as they aim to rebuild for future domestic and European success.

McKennie’s value to Juventus extends beyond stats. His tactical flexibility allows him to cover multiple roles in midfield, while his energy, pressing, and transitional play have become essential under every coach he’s played for.

Whether contributing in defense or adding a burst of intensity in attack, the American has become a fan favorite  and a dependable option for the coaching staff.

Securing McKennie to a new deal would bring added stability to Juventus’ midfield ahead of the 2025/26 campaign. It also reflects the club’s broader strategy of retaining high-performing players amid their pursuit of silverware.

With contract talks nearly complete, Juventus supporters can expect an official announcement soon — a move that will be welcomed by those hoping to see McKennie continue to flourish in black and white.
