Juventus will insist with McKennie to convince Atlético with Morata

The Juventus de Turin is determined to stay in property with Alvaro Moratawhose loan for two seasons by the Atletico Madrid It ends in a week. The agreement reached in 2020 included a purchase option for the Italians for 35 million euros, but the Bianconera entity does not want to pay that amount.

Allegri, coach of the Vecchia Signora, is the main supporter for the Spanish international to continue in Turin, but the board has already let him know that not at any price. And that is why they have been looking for solutions for some time to comply with the coach’s request without paying the agreed money.

The first is to negotiate with Atlético a reduction of those 35 million to 20-25, something that is not quite convincing in the Metropolitano, where they understand that despite the fact that the striker does not enter into the plans of Diego SimeoneIf Juventus does not reach that money, Morata could be transferred to another team, since he has a great poster in Europe.

And the second is to put a footballer in the operation. Some time ago the name of Weston McKennie came to light and now from Italy they insist on it. The American midfielder, 23 years olddoes not end up enjoying Allegri’s total confidence, so Juve is willing to put him on the market or, failing that, to include him in some operation, as is the case with Morata.

Its characteristics can adapt to what Cholo demands to reinforce the core of the mattress group, where he will surely lose Hector Herrera, who is going to the North American MLS. He can act as a defensive midfielder, central midfielder and even as a right midfielder.

After having him on loan for a year from Schalke 04, Juventus spent around 20 million euros last summer to get his services, but as we say, it is not fixed for Allegri. This season he has played 28 games in all competitions (20 in Serie A) in which he has scored four goals.
