Report Milan and Roma eye McKennie on a free transfer as Juventus look to Cristante

Tuttosport reports that Milan and Roma are interested in Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie, who will be available on a free transfer in June, while the Bianconeri are keeping an eye on Bryan Cristante’s situation in the capital.

Milan and Roma will be eager to make a contract offer to McKennie in the new year, as the American midfielder has been failing to reach an agreement to extend his expiring deal in Turin.

Football Italia already reported this week that talks between McKennie and Juventus were on hold.

According to Tuttosport, McKennie’s priority is to stay at Juventus, but his agents are also sounding out options in the Premier League as Milan and Roma watch on.

The Giallorossi have another decision to make in central midfield as Cristante’s contract runs out in June 2027.

A regular starter under Gian Piero Gasperini, Cristante is unwilling to accept a pay cut to extend his stay in the capital. Tuttosport reports that the club and the player have ‘different ideas’ regarding the future, so reaching an agreement in the coming months is not guaranteed.

Cristante is expected to end the season in Rome before potentially discussing a move.

Juventus are looking for an experienced Regista, and Cristante is one of the players on the agenda, also because his agent, Beppe Riso, is reported to be on excellent terms with Juventus’ CEO, Damien Comolli.
