Juventus-McKennie deal getting closer, medicals forthcoming: the latest

Juventus' deal for Weston McKennie is nearly done. The American midfielder is finalizing the final details, mainly bureaucratic issues, with the bianconeri. The 21-year-old left Schalke 04's retreat in Austria and is getting set to undergo medicals, perhaps as soon as Friday, with the Italian club. The formula of the deal is a €3.5 loan with purchase option fixed at €18m. McKennie will soon be in Italy, set to become the first American player in Juventus' history.
