The American midfielder has reached an agreement with the Serie A side for a contract extension through the 2027-28 season. His agent, Cory Gibbs, traveled to Turin to finalize the terms.

McKennie’s tenacity and performance have earned him a spot as a reliable choice under various coaches, showcasing his versatility by excelling as a right back or in midfield positions. This extension ensures he remains in a stable environment leading into the 2026 World Cup in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

Since joining Juventus in 2020, McKennie has made 159 competitive appearances and has been integral during crucial moments with 17 goals and 13 assists. His growing influence on the team is reflected in this new contract, highlighting Juventus’ ambition for more success in the Champions League.
