Weston McKennie’s Agent Rebukes Reports of Juventus Contract Stalemate, MLS Move

The public denial lands just before the midfielder becomes eligible to open talks for a potential July free transfer.

Overview

  • Agent Cory Gibbs stated on X that viral claims about stalled renewal talks and an MLS plan were "FALSE" and "lies and propaganda."
  • The disputed reports, attributed to pundit Matteo Moretto, alleged a commission dispute and a free move to MLS in 2026, and Moretto had not replied to the rebuttal as of the latest coverage.
  • Juventus still have McKennie under contract through June 2026, and no new agreement has been announced.
  • Within days, regulations allow McKennie to begin discussions with other clubs for a possible July move, with MLS, AC Milan and Roma cited as potential suitors in reporting.
  • McKennie has been a consistent starter under Luciano Spalletti, contributing goals and assists and playing heavy minutes this season.
