TOP STORY: McKennie waiting for the right offer

Weston McKennie is waiting for the right offer to leave Juventus, according to Calciomercato.

The 24-year-old United States star is understood to have turned down a €40 million move to AFC Bournemouth and, while he has also rejected a second approach from Aston Villa, he could still leave the Bianconeri this January amid interest from Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Borussia Dortmund.

Those teams are yet to make a formal approach, but it is reported that he would be willing to leave Juventus if an agreement is reached over a fee, with the midfielder only willing to begin a new chapter at another club if he can continue his career at the top level.

Juve are open to offers, but with injuries to Juan Cuadrado and Mattia De Sciglio, they also see McKennie as a useful option with his versatility to be deployed on the right flank. He has made 16 appearances this season.
