<p>The 26-year-old United States international <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/weston-mckennie-join-lionel-messi-inter-miami-usmnt-star-surreal-14m-transfer-juventus-mls/bltf8acc789f3aa3b56 " target="_blank">appeared destined to sever ties with the Bianconeri</a> at one stage. He was banished from first-team training under Thiago Motta, but refused to throw in the towel and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/usmnt-star-weston-mckennie-reveals-demands-meet-earn-juventus-future/blt919ba6703c7f2776 " target="_blank">fought his way back into favour</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>McKennie’s <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/usmnt-weston-mckennie-wing-back-juventus/blt5499f8d36af36b32 " target="_blank">versatility has been put to good use</a> in Turin, with his no-nonsense approach winning over previously sceptical coaching staff and fans. An extension to his current deal is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/usmnt-star-weston-mckennie-another-new-contract-juventus-pay-rise-salary/blt4f2c64f444b79c96  " target="_blank">now being lined up</a>.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>A “complete agreement” is said to be in place, with a signature all that is required in order to complete that deal. It has surprised many that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/worried-future-usmnt-questions-golden-generation-clint-dempsey-failures-christian-pulisic-2026-world-cup-countdown/blt157e368b27994496 " target="_blank">no official announcement on McKennie’s future</a> has been made.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p><a href="https://www.tuttomercatoweb.com/juventus/?action=read&amp;idnet=dHV0dG9qdXZlLmNvbS03MzM2NDI " target="_blank"><em>Tuttomercatoweb </em></a>claims that is because <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/weston-mckennie-salary-how-much-does-juventus-star-earn-per-week-and-annually-in-serie-a/blt3ffddf4241849050 " target="_blank">the American’s contract</a> is yet to receive “formal approval from the club’s board”. Juve are currently focused on securing a top-four finish in Serie A and Champions League qualification for 2025-26.</p>

TELL ME MORE

<p>There is said to be “growing confidence” that <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/weston-mckennie-closer-ever-juventus-contract-extension-usmnt-star-long-term-future-serie-a-giants/blt87e5b04a5ffc0d79 " target="_blank">McKennie’s deal will be signed off</a> at the end of the season, with his “fighting spirit” set to be rewarded with terms that recognise his growing importance to the Allianz Stadium cause.</p>
