Juventus drop asking price for USMNT star Weston McKennie as valuation set for late-window transfer

The expectation was, following a loan spell at Leeds last season, that the United States international would depart Turin during the summer transfer window. Having seemingly been deemed surplus to requirements, another fresh start appeared to be on the cards.

McKennie has, however, figured under Massimiliano Allegri during pre-season and the early stages of the 2023-24 campaign. Juve remain open to offers for the midfielder, but will only sell if their full valuation of the 24-year-old is met.

That figure was said to stand at €30 million (£26m/$32m) when the latest window opened, but Tuttomercato reports that the Bianconeri are now willing to do a deal at the €25m (£21m/$27m) mark. They will not accept anything less than that, with Juve prepared to keep McKennie if no suitable bids are tabled.

McKennie has been linked with the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa over recent weeks, but he remains under contract in Italy through to 2025 and may be given a chance to shine this season alongside international team-mate Tim Weah.
