Weston McKennie is not yet ready to leave Juve despite several clubs interested in his services, including several Premier League teams.
However, one of the Premier League clubs interested in McKennie is Aston Villa. Tuttomercatoweb claims that the American is simply not interested in moving to central England and that the English side have now decided to look elsewhere.
It was also said that Tottenham were eyeing McKennie, but for whatever reason, they haven’t followed up on their initial interest, meaning the midfielder is very likely to remain in Turin for the season.
It’s pretty clear that McKennie exceeds the requirements at the Allianz Stadium and his days at Juve are numbered, but it seems the 24-year-old isn’t ready to accept that and is determined to fight for his place in the team.
Juve have a host of midfielders and with Paul Pogba set to return shortly and a host of younger midfielders emerging, it’s hard to see how McKennie can impress Max Allegri, he just won’t have enough opportunities.
It’s probably in the best interests of everyone involved if McKennie leaves this January, but he can’t be forced to leave and the final decision rests with the player.
