However, McKennie’s situation has changed recently and he has returned to being part of Motta’s plans, which just led the team into the first game of the new season, beating newcomers Como 3-0 at home on Monday.

Italian media outlet Tuttosport reports that Juventus have given McKennie a new one-year contract until 2026, with an option to extend it for another year, instead of the original deal that was due to end in 2025. He will also receive the same salary of 2.5 million euros per season.

McKennie, who turns 26 next week, joined Juventus on loan from Schalke in 2020 before moving permanently the following year for €21.9m.
