Everton are the latest club to show an interest in Weston McKennie and present an offer to sign the American midfielder from Serie A club Juventus this summer.
According to a report by Italian outlet Calciomercato, Weston McKennie is the subject of interest from Everton. The Toffees are the latest to submit a proposal to sign the Juventus midfielder in the summer transfer window. The Serie A giants want €20 million to part ways with the USMNT international.
Weston McKennie and his topsy-turvy ride at Juventus
Weston McKennie has endured a topsy-turvy since joining Juventus from FC Schalke 04. The American midfielder rose in prominence in Germany before moving to Italy in 2020. The Serie A club completed a permanent move in July 2021.
2023/24 was Weston McKennie’s most impressive campaign with Juventus as he provided ten assists in 38 appearances across all competitions, discovering a creative side to his game that did not appear previously. However, the 25-year-old faces an uncertain future at the Allianz Stadium after entering the final 12 months of his contract with the Bianconeri.
The USMNT international will likely end his adventure in Serie A after four years, with a move to the Premier League on the cards. English bigwigs like Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur have shown interest in McKennie in the summer transfer window. However, the player’s next destination might be Everton, with Juventus demanding €20 million to part ways with him.
From Serie A to the Premier League soon?
Everton’s interest in Weston McKennie is understandable. The Toffees have been scouring the market for a midfielder heading into the summer transfer window amid uncertainties surrounding the long-term future of Amadou Onana. The Belgian international will likely join Aston Villa in a few days.
So, it behoves Everton to delve into the market for a replacement, with McKennie emerging as a viable target. The latest update by Calciomercato has revealed that the Toffees have already submitted a proposal to sign the 25-year-old USMNT international from Juventus.
However, it is unclear if the Merseyside club’s offer matches Juventus’s asking price of €20 million. In addition, Everton must convince the American midfielder to move to Goodison Park. So, it will be interesting to see if a summer move sees the light of day.
