USMNT star Weston McKennie has reportedly turned down a contract offer from Juventus after the Italian giants proposed a reduced salary. According to <a href="https://www.gazzetta.it/Calcio/Calciomercato/Juventus/storie/26-03-2024/juve-una-squadra-in-bilico-chi-puo-lasciare-in-estate/mckennie.shtml" target="_blank">Gazzetta dello Sport</a> the midfielder and his representatives swiftly rejected the proposal which would have extended his stay in Turin beyond the end of his current deal which expires in June 2025. Facing the prospect of losing the player for free, Juventus may be tempted to sell the player this summer.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The news comes as blow in a season where McKennie has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/weston-mckennie-usmnt-juventus-leeds/bltaa8a9f05048f704f" target="_blank">won over his doubters on his return to the club</a>, establishing himself as a key piece of a team that briefly threatened to challenge runaway league leaders Inter. The Texan's consistent performances and driving runs from midfield have <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/juventus-weston-mckennie-max-allegri-serie-a/bltd9e4d8512dce8a67" target="_blank">won over manager Max Allegri</a> and a sceptical coaching staff.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

McKennie became the first American to play for Juventus when he made his debut for the Old Lady in September 2020. He has since been joined by Timothy Weah, who arrived from Lille last summer - <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/juventus-considering-selling-tim-weah-usmnt-star-out-of-favor-serie-a-side-massimiliano-allegri/blt541400b423ebd078" target="_blank">although his future in Turin is also uncertain</a>.

DID YOU KNOW?

Juventus travel to Rome to face Lazio tomorrow evening but with Inter roaring clear at the top of Serie A and Champions League qualification looking assured, McKennie and company could not be blamed for having one eye on their upcoming Coppa Italia semi-final against the same opponents on Tuesday.
