Juventus’ plan for a mega-swap deal with Aston Villa involving Weston McKennie appears to be hitting a snag.
Talks between the clubs are on hold because McKennie hasn’t agreed to personal terms with Aston Villa, according to multiple reports.
While Douglas Luiz seems keen on joining Juventus, McKennie reportedly wants an incentive to leave Turin before his contract expires next year.
A recent meeting between representatives from all three sides failed to produce a breakthrough.
With McKennie’s participation uncertain, Juventus is exploring other options. One possibility is including Moise Kean in the deal, although Aston Villa’s interest in the striker is unclear.
If McKennie is definitively out, the entire deal would need to be renegotiated with different players involved. Reports of Tottenham hijacking the deal for McKennie have been denied by reliable sources.
Juventus is facing a dilemma. They need to convince McKennie or find a suitable replacement to proceed with the swap deal for Douglas Luiz.
The coming days will be crucial as both clubs explore their options and decide how to move forward. The potential inclusion of Moise Kean adds another layer of complexity to the situation.
