Weston McKennie tells Juventus to double his salary as talks stall

Weston McKennie’s contract talks with Juventus have hit a standstill after the United States midfielder made it clear he wants his salary doubled.

The 25-year-old, who remains under contract in Turin until 2026, is understood to be pushing for improved terms as discussions over a new deal fail to move forward. The situation has left negotiations paused for the time being, with no breakthrough reached.

McKennie has been a regular figure for Juventus this season and has helped his cause with consistent performances, but his wage demands have become a key sticking point. He has told the club he expects a significant raise, effectively asking for double what he currently earns.

It has also been revealed that there has been no real progress in negotiations, with talks now effectively at a standstill as Juventus weigh up their next step.

For now, McKennie remains part of the first-team plans in Turin, but the lack of movement on an extension keeps his long-term future uncertain as both sides hold their position.
