Juventus is set to earn a significant windfall of 34 million euros this summer through the sale of American midfielder Weston McKennie to Leeds United, according to reports from Calciomercato.com.
The Italian club has reportedly decided to exercise their option to purchase McKennie, who arrived on loan during the January transfer window.
The agreed sum of 34 million euros will be paid by Leeds United to fully acquire the midfielder. However, the transfer is subject to a condition, as Leeds United must stay in the Premier League.
Currently, the team managed by Javi Garcia sits in 16th place with 29 points, two points above the relegation zone.
The sale of McKennie is expected to provide Juventus with a much-needed boost to their finances as they look to rebuild their squad for next season.
Since Weston McKennie’s arrival at Leeds United he has played 11 games in the Premier League, starting on the pitch a total of eight times.
