Weston McKennie’s future at Juventus remains uncertain as the American midfielder finds himself on the transfer market. While Fiorentina has shown interest, new reports suggest that several Bundesliga clubs are also eyeing the 25-year-old.
McKennie, who is not part of new coach Thiago Motta’s plans, has a contract with Juventus until June 2025. The Italian giants are keen to sell him this summer to avoid losing him on a free transfer next year.
Fiorentina has emerged as a potential destination for McKennie, but they are hesitant to meet Juventus’ asking price of €10-15 million. The Florence-based club is exploring ways to reduce the transfer fee.
However, according to Sky Sports Deutschland transfer expert Florian Plettenberg, several Bundesliga sides have expressed interest in McKennie and could make offers. This development adds a new dimension to the transfer saga and potentially complicates Fiorentina’s pursuit.
McKennie, who will turn 26 later this month, has strong ties to Germany. Born in Texas, he moved to Germany at a young age due to his father’s military posting. He began his football career in Germany, playing for Otterbach and later Schalke 04 before joining Juventus in 2020 for €25 million.
