Yesterday, Juve’s renewed interest in Sergej Milinkovic-Savic dominated the headlines. The Bianconeri are longtime admirers of the Serbian midfielder, but Lazio president Claudio Lotito has proven to be a dogged negotiator and continues to resist all offers.
However, Juventus will reportedly try their luck once again in January. But as always, the club must make a sacrifice for the gods of the transfer market to make room for a possible new arrival.
According to TuttoJuve, the management are keen to part ways with Weston McKennie, which would help the club carve out a great transfer offer for Milinkovic-Savic.
The American landed in Turin in the summer of 2020, but his time at Juventus has seen several ups and downs.
However, the source believes the 24-year-old still has a number of admirers in the Bundesliga, having previously represented Schalke before switching to Serie A.

To his credit, the USMNT star is a hard-working player on the field, who is willing to chase down every ball. But sadly, his technical touch leaves a lot to be desired.
So unless his skill set improves dramatically between now and the end of the year, his departure would not be considered a huge loss for the Juventus team.
