Weston McKennie’s search for a position at Juventus may finally be over

The American has struggled to discover exactly where he fits with the Serie A giants. But competition with a US teammate may have solved the problem

The Juventus team that Weston McKennie rejoined this summer no longer contains any of his childhood heroes. When he arrived at the club for the first time, back in 2020, he was greeted by faces that used to look down from his bedroom wall.

Not many people know when I was younger, when Italy won the 2006 World Cup, growing up I had a poster of them lifting the trophy in my room," said McKennie during an interview released on the club's YouTube channel last month. Seeing some of those guys personally and potentially playing with them was a surreal feeling."
