Report: Juventus to fund a transfer for a new fullback by selling McKennie

Despite being one of the most popular members in the locker room, Weston McKennie’s future in Turin remains a mystery.

The American arrived at Juventus in 2020, but his time at the club has been a roller coaster full of ups and downs.

Due to the eventual return of Paul Pogba and the appearance of Fabio Miretti and Nicolò Fagioli, the Texan has become an expendable member of Max Allegri’s midfield department.

According to Tuttosport via ilBianconero, Juventus could sell McKennie to finance the transfer of a new winger.

The source names Borussia Dortmund and Tottenham Hotspur as the 24-year-old’s two most likely destinations.

On the other hand, Juventus will seek to add a right back to rotate with Juan Cuadrado, who was exhausted at the end of the first part of the season.

The main suspects for the role remain Atalanta’s Joakim Maehle and Roma’s Rick Karsdorp.

The Bianconeri like the Denmark international, especially for his ability to cover for both sides.

On the other hand, the Dutchman had a break with José Mourinho back in November that could speed up his departure from the Italian capital.

However, the source believes that Juventus are hoping to secure a loan deal rather than make a permanent purchase.

But if the bianconeri made an investment, they could consider the young Iván Fresneda who has been a revelation at Real Valladolid.
