McKennie to Juventus proves top clubs are taking U.S. talent seriously - Ex-USMNT star Onyewu

There are few American soccer stars, past or present, that will understand what Weston McKennie is going through right now.

The 22-year-old U.S. men's national team star recently completed a dream move to Juventus, where he will play alongside a player, Cristiano Ronaldo, and for a coach, Andrea Pirlo, that he no doubt idolised while growing up.

Oguchi Onyewu is one of the few that does understand. After rising through the European ranks with the likes of Metz, Standard Liege and Newcastle, Onyewu too completed a dream move during the summer of 2009, signing with Italian giants AC Milan to play alongside some of the biggest names on the planet.
