According to reports in Italy, Juventus value Weston McKennie at €25m and see Khéphren Thuram as a potential replacement for Adrien Rabiot, but Liverpool, Inter and Milan are also interested in the Frenchman.
Juventus will drastically change their midfield department this summer and hope the sale of McKennie will help them raise funds for their primary target: Atalanta star Teun Koopmeiners, who has also been linked with a move to Liverpool.
La Dea have set a €60m price tag on the Dutch midfielder, a sum that Juventus can’t afford without a sale.
Juventus set McKennie price tag for Aston Villa and battle Liverpool for two midfielders
Aston Villa director Monchi has recently visited the Old Lady to inquire about McKennie, but according to all sports papers and Sport Mediaset, the Serie A giants don’t want to sell the American midfielder for less than €25m.
The two parties are expected to part company this summer as Juventus will not give McKennie a pay rise and extend his contract beyond 2025.
Juventus could consider a swap deal involving Douglas Luiz, but the two parties are not believed to have discussed this possibility yet.
All Italian sports papers confirm Juventus have also sent an offer to extend with Adrien Rabiot.
The France international hasn’t yet decided on his future in Turin, and if he opts to leave at the end of his contract next month, his compatriot Thuram is seen as a possible replacement by Juventus, according to Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport.
The Rome-based paper on page four, however, reports that Milan, Liverpool and even Inter are also monitoring the 23-year-old brother of Nerazzurri star Marcus.
