McKennie moved to the U19 from Schalke 04 for the 2017/18 season and then made the breakthrough among the professionals. In the next three years he completed a total of 91 competitive games for the Revierklub, scoring five goals and preparing eight more. For the 2020/21 season he was initially drawn on loan to the top Italian club Juventus Turin, from whom he was finally signed for 18.5 million euros plus possible bonus payments of 6.5 million euros for the current season. For the “old lady” he has now made 47 competitive appearances (six goals, three assists).
