Juventus open to selling Weston McKennie following signing of Manuel Locatelli

Juventus are willing to let go of midfielder Weston McKennie this summer, following the arrival of Sassuolo’s Manuel Locatelli.

McKennie came to Juventus last summer from Schalke, initially on a loan deal with an option to buy if certain conditions were met. Back in March, the Old Lady took up their option to buy, paying an initial €18.5 million fee with up to €7m in bonuses.

The American midfielder made 34 Serie A appearances last season, with 16 coming from the bench. He netted five goals and registered a further two assists, finishing as the club’s fourth top scorer behind only Cristiano Ronaldo, Alvaro Morata, and Federico Chiesa.
