No pay rise for Weston McKennie! Terms in Juventus contract talks revealed as USMNT star weighs up extension or transfer options amid MLS and Saudi interest

The United States international appeared destined to sever ties with the Bianconeri when returning to Turin from a loan spell at Leeds in 2023. He was, however, to see a professional slate wiped clean in Italy and has made the most of an unexpected second opportunity to prove his worth.

McKennie has registered 10 assists for Juve this season, while putting his versatility to good use in a variety of positions, and has seen fresh terms speculated on as he approaches the final 12 months of his current contract.

Calciomercato reports that discussions are ongoing, but also point out that sporting director Cristiano Giuntoli is looking to do a deal on the same salary that McKennie already pulls in. The 25-year-old’s representatives have made it clear that no paperwork will be signed until that offer is revised.

With that in mind, a permanent transfer away from Juventus this summer remains an option. McKennie, who has become a key figure for his country, has been linked with teams across Europe – from the Premier League to the Bundesliga – and will consider all of his options carefully before making a big career call. It's understood that teams from further afield - namely MLS and the Saudi Pro League - are also monitoring the situation closely.
