Weston McKennie has attracted fresh attention from Serie A rivals AC Milan and Napoli. According to Tuttosport, both clubs have approached Juventus to explore a potential deal for the American midfielder.

While McKennie remains committed to Juventus, a contract renewal has yet to materialize, leaving his future uncertain.

McKennie is currently a key part of Igor Tudor’s preseason squad. Despite being sidelined last summer, he earned his way back and signed a deal through 2026.

This time, however, talks over a long-term contract have stalled. Juventus, aware of the looming expiry date, may consider selling him if renewal terms aren’t agreed upon soon.

Juventus weighs transfer or renewal ahead of 2026

The Bianconeri are in a tricky spot. While McKennie remains central to Tudor’s tactical plans, Juventus won’t risk losing him for free in 2026.

They remain open to offers, especially with two domestic giants already expressing interest. A possible move to Major League Soccer is also gaining traction. McKennie has never played club football in the United States.

With the 2026 World Cup on American soil, a transfer to MLS could serve as both a personal and strategic career step. The move would also mark a homecoming of sorts for the Texas-born midfielder.

As it stands, McKennie continues his preseason with Juventus. Whether he remains in Turin or makes a move—domestic or overseas—will depend on how contract talks evolve in the coming weeks.
