Rumours of McKennie’s Juventus exit are ‘clickbait’

The American midfielder’s contract expires at the end of the season, and according to Sky Sport Italia, the Bianconeri are unwilling to offer him a new deal.

Previous reports suggested that the two parties were unable to reach an agreement due to agent fees, but the player’s representative has already denied this.

Now, the midfielder’s father has also denied that McKennie’s Juventus exit in the summer has already been decided.
