Weston McKennie has undergone a remarkable resurgence in football this season, recovering from almost being sold to become a Juventus regular.
He spent the second half of last season on loan at Leeds United after a dull first half, with Juve hoping the then-Premier League side would sign him permanently.
However, that never materialized as they were relegated from the English top flight and he returned to the Allianz Stadium.
Juve initially put him up for sale, but McKennie acquitted himself with good form during pre-season.
This earned him another opportunity to play for the club and he has been exceptional.
Juve are no longer looking to sell him again and Calciomercato reveals that the club are eager to secure him a new contract.
Juve have been extending new deals to most of their players who have performed well and the report claims McKennie is one of them.
The American will be happy to stay at the club and we hope that negotiations on a new contract will progress smoothly.
Juve FC says
McKennie has done well this season and deserves a new contract as one of the standout players on our team.
We need him to stay fit for the rest of this season, and that could net us a good fee if a team asks for his signature in the summer.
