According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Juventus are willing to sell Weston McKennie after completing the signing of Manuel Locatelli.
What’s the story?
Well, it was said that Liverpool were interested in signing Locatelli.
However, the 23-year-old EURO 2020 winner has now sealed a £32m move to Juventus.
Now, Di Marzio believes McKennie could leave Turin due to Locatelli’s presence at the Allianz Stadium.
That will be of interest to Tottenham. Fabio Paratici is believed to be very keen on bringing the 24-cap USA international to north London.
Juventus signed the 22-year-old from Schalke 04 for €18.5m (£15.8m), and McKennie went on to impress hugely during his debut campaign in Italy.
Who is Weston McKennie?
Seeing as he’s not exactly a household name, you might not know who McKennie is.
If that’s the case, the Bundesliga provide a helpful comparison.
They liken McKennie to Chile icon Arturo Vidal, arguably one of the best midfielders of his generation having shone for Juventus, Bayern Munich and Barcelona.
In truth, that’s a huge compliment to the American.
Southampton and Aston Villa were also keen to sign the man who scored against Barcelona at the Camp Nou last season.
If Tottenham pull this deal off, it would add a new dimension to Nuno Espirito Santo’s midfield.
