American soccer midfielder Weston McKennie has committed his future to Italian soccer powerhouse Juventus, inking a new deal that will keep him in Turin until 2030.
The U.S. men’s national team star finalized his contract extension with the Serie A giants on Monday, just one week after reports surfaced that negotiations were nearing completion. According to ESPN, McKennie’s new agreement guarantees him $7 million annually over four years with no additional options included.
McKennie joined Juventus in 2021 and has remained with the club since then, except for a brief loan spell with Leeds United in 2023. His previous deal was scheduled to run out following this season.
During his tenure with Juventus, McKennie has found the back of the net 26 times across 220 matches in all competitions since arriving in 2021. This campaign has been particularly productive for the midfielder, who has netted eight goals in 38 appearances. On the international stage, McKennie has contributed 11 goals over 62 matches for the United States since earning his first cap in 2017.
The timing of McKennie’s contract extension positions him as a key figure for the U.S. national team heading into this summer’s World Cup, where all American matches will take place on American territory.
