Inter Milan’s attempts to acquire Weston McKennie have hit a roadblock as the player is reportedly set to renew his contract with Juventus. According to reports from Tuttosport, Inter’s management was keen on signing the 27-year-old midfielder for free in the summer, as his current contract is set to expire in June 2026. However, negotiations with Juventus have taken a positive turn, thwarting Inter’s plans.
McKennie has been a crucial player for Luciano Spalletti’s team this season, making 36 appearances in all competitions and contributing 7 goals and 7 assists. The new deal is expected to tie the midfielder to Juventus until 2030. Despite interest from Inter, Atletico Madrid, and MLS clubs, McKennie’s strong desire to stay in Turin has influenced his decision.
Inter Milan’s management will now have to look for alternative options to strengthen their midfield, focusing on maintaining squad depth. The announcement of McKennie’s contract renewal is anticipated soon, ending speculation about his future. This development marks a setback for Inter’s transfer plans but reinforces Juventus’ commitment to retaining the talented midfielder.
