Liverpool FC

Juventus spent 20.5 million euros to sign the United States international from Schalke 04 in the summer of 2021. Schalke could earn an additional 4.5 million euros through bonus payments and performance-based add-ons. He is under contract at Juventus until the summer of 2025.

The midfielder has registered three goals and one assist in 16 matches this season on all fronts.

The 24-year-old is considered to be one of the best midfielders in United States. His record for United States is impressive. McKennie has scored 9 goals in 41 matches for United States at senior level.

The United States international midfielder has struggled to adapt to Italian football and he could be made available this winter.

Jürgen Klopp sees Weston McKennie as the perfect addition to his midfield.

The United States international is thought to perfectly fit the profile of midfielder Klopp wants to target in the winter transfer window.

The Reds will have funds to spend in the market and it will be interesting to see how they approach the winter transfer window.

The former Schalke 04 man would provide a good variety to Liverpool’s midfield.

According to the report, “Liverpool are exploring a loan deal for Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie. The Daily Mail says Liverpool are looking at the possibility of signing McKennie in the January transfer window. But it is also stated that this would be on a loan deal rather than a permanent buy. It is an open secret that the Reds’ top target is England and Borussia Dortmund star Jude Bellingham. But the report states that they are open to the idea of bringing in reinforcements on loan in the New Year, too.
