Recent reports suggest that United States international Weston McKennie might still have a future at Juventus, despite earlier rumors of his departure. According to a source familiar with the situation, McKennie is expected to train with the first-team ahead of Juventus’ Serie A opener against Como on Monday.
The 25-year-old midfielder was initially left out of Juventus’ squad for their final two preseason matches, leading to speculation about his future at the club. However, after holding talks with manager Thiago Motta, McKennie has been welcomed back into the first-team fold for the upcoming match.
Earlier in the transfer window, McKennie was linked with a move to Fiorentina, with other clubs like Aston Villa, Everton, and several teams in the Bundesliga and MLS also expressing interest in the talented midfielder. Despite Fiorentina looking like a possible destination for McKennie, recent developments indicate that he might continue his journey with Juventus.
With rumors swirling about McKennie’s potential departure, his inclusion in the matchday squad for Monday’s game against Como comes as a surprise. The USMNT star, who has 56 caps for his national team, could play a crucial role for Juventus this season after featuring in 34 Serie A matches last year.
Weston McKennie’s future at Juventus remains uncertain, but recent developments hint at a possible stay at the Serie A club. With interest from various clubs and talks with manager Thiago Motta, McKennie’s inclusion in the first-team training is a positive sign for the talented midfielder. Fans will have to wait and see how the situation unfolds as McKennie gears up for the upcoming Serie A campaign.
