McKennie Prefers Bundesliga Move to Schalke’s Rivals

Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie has a potential eye on a return back to the Bundesliga, perhaps to the arch-rivals of his youth club Schalke 04. McKennie has long been linked to the exit door at the Allianz Stadium, and it could turn into a reality sooner rather than later, perhaps in the January transfer window.

As per latest reports from Tuttosport, the USMNT midfielder prefers a move to German heavyweights Borussia Dortmund after three years at the Bianconeri. Reportedly, Juventus will not object the transfer deal, as long as they receive a minimum of €30M in their coffers.

The Bianconeri have experienced more downs than ups in recent months with their mismanagement saga, and are now looking to mitigate losses by selling players.

McKennie rose through the ranks of Schalke, before going on to spend four years at the Veltin’s Arena garnering 91 appearances in total. Apart from Schalke’s Revierderby rivals Dortmund, Bournemouth and Tottenham are also interested in the 24-year-old.
