Zapping Our Mondial Observer’s crazy dream eleven!
Last year, Weston McKennie tiptoed to Juve. Little known to the general public, the American international however quickly established himself within the eleven of Andrea Pirlo, who was then on the bench of the Old Lady. After a few seasons in Germany for Schalke 04, he has proven that he can fit perfectly into one of the biggest European teams.
However, Juventus has experienced a very important change this summer with the return to business of Massimiliano Allegri. The Italian technician, who has won almost everything with the Piedmont club, would not really count on McKennie. At the same time, the arrival in Turin of Manuel Locatelli from Sassuolo casts a chill on his potential playing time. The transalpine coach would also prefer the Frenchman Adrien Rabiot or the Uruguayan Rodrigo Bentancur.
In view of this situation, the native of Texas could consider a departure before the end of the transfer window. Juventus could consider offers between € 25m and € 30m for a player who was bought for just over € 18m. In the Premier League, several teams are interested but it is indeed Everton who hold the rope. The Toffees could even assault in the coming days.
Big competition in the midfield
In addition to the arrival of Manuel Locatelli, Juventus can rely on the indestructible Rodrigo Bentancur and the French international Adrien Rabiot. After a complicated season, ex-Barça player Arthur Melo hopes to do much better this year while a return of Miralem Pjanić is also mentioned. Therefore, it is possible that Weston McKennie will be reduced to an understudy role this season on the Turin side.
