After exercising the option to buy McKennie, Juventus are looking to sign another midfielder this summer. Two avenues are studied: Jorginho and Manuel Locatelli.
The Juventus Turin should be very active in the transfer market next summer, according to Tuttosport. The Old Lady wishes strengthen his midfield, and several names are mentioned by the Italian press. Jorginho, who has two years of contract left Chelsea, would be one of the club’s priorities.
Not convinced of the performance of Ramsey, Arthur and Bentancur, Juventus are looking for a midfielder who can organize the game and release the balls under pressure. Yes Paul pogba remains the big dream of the supporters, the leaders seem more oriented towards the former Napoli. Already in the past, the Italian leaders had tried to recruit him, when Maurizio Sarri was coaching the team.
If the deal with the London club is not possible, Juve will try to seek Manuel Locatelli (23 years). The youngster of Sassuolo has been doing good performances for three seasons.
McKennie will stay
While part of the board is active on the external market, another focuses on retaining the best elements. Indeed, the club has just lifted the purchase option set at 18.05 million euros, to which could be added 6.5 million various bonuses, for Weston McKennie (22 years old). Loaned by Schalke 04, the midfielder has scored 4 goals and provided 2 assists in Serie A this season. The American won in the eleven of Pirlo, who did not wish to see him return to Germany.
