Weston McKennie reportedly set to sign new Juventus contract that would make USMNT star one of club's top earners

Weston McKennie is set to sign a new contract with Juventus according to various reports throughout Italy and the U.S. McKennie has reportedly agreed to the framework of a new deal that will run through 2028, with that deal set to make him one of the higher earned at the club.

McKennie started each of the last two seasons out of the picture at Juventus, but has repeatedly regained his place, providing five goals and three assists this season to earn his new deal.

Details of McKennie's new contract with Juve were first reported by CBS Sports.

The new deal is a major sign of confidence from Juve, who have finally put the days of trying to get rid of McKennie behind them. The American has fought back from the brink several times and has established himself as one of the club's more consistent performers under multiple managers.

Notably, the contract would keep McKennie tied to Juve at a crucial time in his career, as it guarantees he'll remain with the Serie A giants right on through next summer's World Cup. The midfielder is expected to be a key member of Mauricio Pochettino's U.S. men's national team squad when the world's biggest tournament arrives on U.S. soil in 2026.

McKennie originally signed on with Juve during the 2020-21 season, although he did spend a half-season at Leeds on loan in 2023. Over his five seasons, the American has made 143 total appearances, scoring 13 goals in all competitions.

With just four games remaining in the Serie A season, Juventus currently sit in fourth place as they fight for a Champions League spot next season. Up next is a crucial match against Bologna, who are just one point behind the Old Lady in fifth place.
