Yesterday, Juve’s rekindled interest in Sergej Milinkovic-Savic dominated the headlines. The Bianconeri are longtime admirers of the Serbian midfielder, but Lazio president Claudio Lotito has proven to be a stubborn negotiator as he continues to resist all offers.
Nevertheless, Juventus will reportedly try their luck once again come January. But as always, the club must make a sacrifice for the transfer market gods to make room for a potential new arrival.
According to TuttoJuve, the management is willing to part ways with Weston McKennie which would help the club in forging a large transfer bid for the Milinkovic-Savic.
The American landed in Turin in the summer of 2020, but his time at Juventus has witnessed several highs and lows.
However, the source believes that the 24-year-old still has several admirers in the Bundesliga, having previously represented Schalke before making the switch to Serie A.
Juve FC say
To his credit, the USMNT star is a hard-working player on the pitch, who’s willing to chase every ball. But sadly, his technical touch leaves a lot to be desired.
So unless his skillset dramatically improves between now and the end of the year, his departure wouldn’t be considered a major loss for the Juventus squad.
It’s not sacrifice when Mck has been abysmal this year.
McKennie is a laughing stock… Sell…
He had a remarkable “touch” with his assist the other day. He is played by the manager over others constantly. You can disagree, but others on the team seem to feel he’s worth the trouble
