US Men's National Team midfielder Weston McKennie could leave Juventus this summer transfer window, according to The Athletic's Tom Bogert.
Bogert reported on X (formerly Twitter) that McKennie is a player to watch this summer. There is reportedly "a ton of interest" from England and elsewhere that is turning into offers. Bogert reports that contract talks between Juventus and McKennie have stalled. The USMNT midfielder had a great season for the Serie A giant appearing in 34 of 38 games. He record seven assists in the league and three in Juventus' successful Coppa Italia campaign.
Juventus finished third in Serie A qualifying for the Champions League after missing out last season.

McKennie is set to star for the USMNT in midfield this summer during Copa America. USA hopes for a big international performance with the tournament taking place across the country. A strong tournament performance could boost interest in the player even higher and the potential fee if Juventus choose to sell.
The box-to-box midfielder spent the first four years of his professional career in the Bundesliga at Schalke 04. He went to Juventus on loan during the 2020/21 season before making his move there permanent. He also spent the second half of the 2023/24 season on loan at Leeds United in the Premier League.
Juventus parted ways with Massimiliano Allegri after the Coppa Italia win over Atalanta and McKennie's current contract is set to expire in 2025. The Italian club could look to cash in on the midfielder with Aston Villa reportedly maintaining interest in the player.
The USMNT have friendlies against Colombia and Brazil before beginning its Copa America campaign. USA faces off against Bolivia, Panama and Uruguay in the group stage with hopes of going deep in the tournament.
