This summer Juventus board led by Damien Comolli is looking to build a team that suits the style of Igor Tudor. This is too help maximise his potential as a coach. This is especially a team in Juventus where with a bit of luck and consistent performances could easily challenge for the Scudetto next season.

However, to afford all these signings Juventus will have to sell players. This has been seen already so far this summer when Juventus sold Samuel Mbangula to German side Werder Bremen. Juventus will also try to sell two midfielders this merecato to bring in new signings.

Juventus will more than likely sell Douglas Luiz this transfer window with Premier League sides already sniffing around the Brazilian midfielder. Teun Koopmeiners was another name floating around to be sold, however Igor Tudor decided to give the dutchman another chance.

This leaves Juventus with two choices on who to sell Weston Mckennie or Fabio Miretti. Initially Juventus preferred to sell Fabio Miretti since he was a former youth academy player any sale that Juventus would make is considered pure profit by finical fair play rules. Napoli had shown interest in the Italian youngster with Juventus where ready to sell Miretti for a figure around €15-20M.

Now according to Tuttosport Juventus will decide to sell Mckennie if they cannot reach an agreement for the a contract extension with the American midfielder. Juventus see the fee Mckennie and his agents are demanding as unreasonable. This could lead to Mckennie sale with plenty of interest from the football world.

Clubs from England, Germany and America would all like to sign Mckennie. However, the main interest is coming from inside Italy with AS Roma and AC Milan keeping eyes on him. Juventus has already opened talks with Roma that could see a swap deal made with Juventus. If this would happen Juventus would likely get Bryan Cristante or Lorenzo Pellegrini back and maybe some cash considerations. AC Milan like the idea of signing Mckennie due to the fact that he has worked with new Milan coach Max Allegri before at Juventus.
