Report: Weston McKennie rejects Juventus' latest extension offer ...
Juventus has been interested in extending Weston McKennie’s contract by another two seasons, but the American midfielder has reportedly declined the Old Lady’s latest offer.
McKennie has turned down Juventus’ latest contract extension offer due to no increase in his salary, CalcioMercato reported Tuesday. Juventus has offered McKennie a two-year extension at €2.5 million per year, but McKennie “is not satisfied” with the offer from the club, according to the report.
The 25-year-old has enjoyed a sensational season for the Old Lady, registering 10 assists in 33 combined appearances. McKennie has logged 2,625 minutes of playing time this season, featuring in midfield and as a wing back at times.
In total, McKennie has accumulated 13 goals and 15 assists in 129 appearances for Juventus, lifting the Coppa Italia and Italian Super Cup on one occasion each.
Despite being linked with a move away from Juventus last summer, McKennie has been one of the bright spots in the squad.
Juventus next faces Lazio on Tuesday in the second leg of its Coppa Italia semifinal tie, leading 2-0 on aggregate. Sitting third in Serie A, Massimiliano Allegri’s men has five league matches left on their schedule as well, sitting nine points clear of fifth place AS Roma.
