Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano has revealed via his official X account that Weston McKennie is on the verge of signing a new four-year contract extension with Juventus FC, keeping him at the Allianz Stadium until the summer of 2030.
The agreement, reportedly worth €4m net per season, is expected to be sealed in the coming days as previously planned. Softfootball reports.
With negotiations now at the final stages, Juventus have moved decisively to secure the 27-year-old’s future amid interest from several clubs in Italy and abroad, including Aston Villa F.C. and Chelsea F.C..
Romano stated:
Weston McKennie new deal at Juventus will be signed in the upcoming days, as planned. Four year deal for salary around €4m net per season as Juve beat competition from several clubs, in Italy and abroad.
McKennie, who nearly left permanently after his 2024 loan spell at Leeds United F.C., has since re-established himself as a crucial figure in Turin.
Under Thiago Motta, the USMNT midfielder has become one of the most reliable performers in midfield, starting 25 Serie A matches this season while contributing two goals and five assists. Beyond statistics, his tactical flexibility, pressing intensity, and ability to operate in multiple roles have made him indispensable during Juventus’ rebuild following their recent points deduction setback.
While some fans debate whether his improved salary fully reflects his occasional inconsistency in front of goal, the club sees his leadership and experience as vital assets, particularly with the 2026 World Cup approaching in North America.
Elsewhere, Kurt Zouma is in advanced negotiations to join Al Wasl F.C. on a deal until the end of the season. The move is believed to have been influenced by Al Wasl’s sporting director Eric Abidal, a fellow former France international, who has played a key role in negotiations.
