Salary demand could scupper McKennie’s January departure

Juventus star Weston McKennie is in line to leave the club in the January transfer window but could stay with them due to the salary he demands.

The midfielder has not been a regular for the Bianconeri under Max Allegri, and is a player the club believe can be sold to fund other transfers.

While Allegri continues to use him, Juve are hopeful he can leave when the transfer window reopens for the right price, but a move for him could be complicated by his demands.

Tuttomercatoweb editor-in-chief Marco Conterio delivered an update on the midfielder. He tweeted:

“Juventus are ready to start with Weston McKennie in January. Allegri prefers to sell him rather than Adrien Rabiot, but the American asks the suitors who have approached him so far for too high a salary”.

Juve FC says

McKennie can certainly do better than he is now, which is what we want if he wants to stay at the club.

However, the midfielder doesn’t seem to fit Allegri’s system, so it’s best to unload him for the right price when we can.

However, if he continues to demand a high salary, he may not get a new club, and Juve will be left with a player they’d rather sell.
