Juventus has announced that American midfielder Weston McKennie has renewed his contract with the black and white club, committing until June 30, 2030.
The news was confirmed by the club after the official publication. McKennie, 27, who arrived in Turin from Schalke 04 in August 2020, has managed to become one of the team’s key players and one of the most used elements by coach Luciano Spalletti.
He crossed the 200-game threshold with Juventus in December and currently has 220 appearances, with 26 goals and 26 assists.
The renewal brings a significant salary increase for McKennie, from 2.8 million euros net per season to 4 million euros net per season, in addition to commissions for his representatives.
Coach Spalletti has been a key factor in the midfielder’s decision to stay, while recent performances, including his role as a striker, attacking central midfielder, winger or even defender, have shown his importance to the team.
McKennie has become one of the club’s most trusted players, contributing in both Serie A, the Coppa Italia and the Champions League, with 8 goals and 7 assists during the current season.
His renewal closes any possibility of him leaving as a zero-sum player, while in recent weeks several clubs such as Inter, Milan, Atletico Madrid and several MLS teams had shown interest in him.
