Italian giants, Juventus are ready to let go of USMNT player Weston McKennie by the next transfer window. The Bianconeri will be open to a €30m deal for the 23-year-old American midfielder to depart this season. Several clubs in the Spanish La Liga and the English Premier League have mooted moving for the player. 

Weston McKennie is one of the many midfielders on the books of Juventus and the club is keen on clearing its stables of players who are surplus to requirements. Aaron Ramsey, Rodrigo Bentancur, Dejan Kulusevski, Adrien Rabiot, Sami Khedira, Arthur Melo, Manuel Locatelli, and Juan Cuadrado all form part of a congested midfield that the club would like to prune. 

Spanish giants, FC Barcelona are one of the clubs thought to be casting glances in the direction of the American midfielder. English Premier League clubs, Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United are some of the other clubs that have been credited with an interest in the 23-year-old. Due to Barcelona's financial crisis, Tottenham Hotspur might be the frontrunner for the player's signature.

Weston McKennie has made only eight appearances for Juventus this season and four of those have been from the bench. The player is not thought of to be on the priority list of Massimilliano Allegri at Juventus. A fee in the region of €30m is said to be enough to secure the player's release.
