United States men’s national team midfielder Weston McKennie is staying with his club, Italian power Juventus, through 2030.
McKennie signed a contract extension with the Serie A club Monday, one week after it was reported that the sides were close. McKennie will earn $7 million per year and his contract has a four-year guarantee with no options, ESPN reported.
With Juventus since 2021, including a short loan to Leeds United in 2023, McKennie has a contract that was set to expire at the end of the current season.
McKennie has scored 26 goals in 220 appearances across all competitions for Juventus since 2021, and he has eight goals in 38 contests this season. In 62 games with the national team since 2017, he has 11 goals.
McKennie is expected to play a pivotal role for the USNMT during the World Cup this summer, with all U.S. games set to be played on home soil.
