Weston McKennie’s career at Juventus appears to be over, as evidenced by the club’s decision not to include him in their pre-season tour of Germany.
Juve initially considered using McKennie as part of a deal to sign Douglas Luiz. However, McKennie’s demands complicated the transaction, and the Bianconeri opted for another player after his delay.
Despite a solid performance last season, the new Juventus manager, Thiago Motta, has decided not to include McKennie in his plans for this campaign.
While Timothy Weah, McKennie’s national teammate, has returned for pre-season, McKennie was allowed to extend his holiday because he is no longer part of their plans.
According to a report from Calciomercato, Juventus has confirmed that there will be no reversal of their decision regarding McKennie. They now expect him to find another club and are awaiting an acceptable offer for his transfer.
Juve FC Says
Sadly, McKennie tried to jeopardise our move for Douglas Luiz, and now is the time for us to pay him back.
The midfielder should find a new home, and if he believes he is a good player, that should not be difficult.
A little surprised by this… After all McKennie wasn’t half bad last season and has an attacking mind set, which you would think would be appreciated by Motta.
He does not have to accept any club Jusventus offer him to. So again more stupid comments by the writer. A player does not have to accept a destiny club just so they (juventus) can get their player. Clearly writers on this site have minimal knowledge of the game.
Its a nonsense report bu this journalist.He contributed well last season.Why its time for a payback????
Cheap and babyish arguments.
I really like McKennie cos he has attacking mindset and can do marking to help the defence too
He still has enough age on his side and has d attitude of listening for correction
I agree this is non-sense reporting. Martin, are these your stupid choice of words in this article because if so you really said some dumb shit today. McKennie is trying to make the best decisions for himself especially knowing that a club is dumping him for now apparent reason, on but lets bend over backwards to keep losers like Vlahovic and Rabiot. I also doubt McKennie had evil music playing behind him while he was rolling is hands thinking about his devilish plan to sabotage a move. This is ridiculous to read. Also now matter how you slice it McKennie wins and Juventus loses. Freeze him out or not, he still getting paid.
McKennie simply don`t have the technical abilities to play Motta`s style of fotball. And he did screw us with the Aston Villa transfer as he wanted money from Juventus as a compensation for him leaving Juventus. I believe Villa`s level is the highest that this guy can expect from a team that want to buy him. He was also dreadful in his first tenure at Juve.Also, go ask Leeds supporters what they think about him. We will struggle to get rid of him as there is not that much interest in him currently.
Villa was the best deal he’s gonna get and he blew it. The midfield is stacked with players ahead of him. He’ll stay and warm the pine and get payed because he’s stubborn
