You said he probably wants to be paid for the insult of being loaned out to Leeds for not being good enough at Juve. That's just wrong by his own account. And Allegri's.
On the bench getting some rest ahead of more important Italian Cup on Tuesday game I'd imagine. Weah however STARTS. Gli 1️⃣1️⃣ titolari della gara di oggi 📝⤵️#CagliariJuve pic.twitter.com/CLQ4MkHLmQ— JuventusFC (@juventusfc) April 19, 2024
If Wes has a good Copa, he will get his payday for sure. Juve is being cheap, but they probably have no choice.
I doubt the Copa has much influence. Wes' professional level is pretty clear by now. His level/type of midfielder is not common. The Leeds (mis)adventure might give EPL teams a bit of negotiating leverage, but the guy now has about 200 total Bund/EPL/Serie A games at 25. Teams know what they're getting at this point. It now a question of what $$ will make Wes happy and what level he wants to play.
The most recent article I can find from an Italian source doesn't really have any new info: https://www.calciomercato.com/news/...rinnovo-vuole-un-riconoscimento-da-tito-14889 via Google Translate: Other outlets are repackaging this alongside a John Mckennie tweet and rumors that he has suitors in MLS, Saudi Arabia, PL, and BuLi (depending on where you see the news reposted).
IMO, Saudi Arabia is just the new CSL: a league that pays above market value for players from European clubs in a country where the language barrier makes it difficult to track the veracity of any rumors. This makes it GOLD for the sports rags speculating about transfer destinations.
That would be sick. I just don't want him at an EPL mid table side. Almost any other potential destination (other than SA) is fine.
Yeah I prefer non epl but brighton, aston villa, spurs, newcastle are team he could play in . I like that brighton coach
Am I crazy to think Wes would tear it up at Dortmund? Of course, not sure he would do that to the FC Schalke fans
McKennie starts! Juventus visiting Lazio in the Coppa Italia Semifinal, 2nd leg {Juventus leading 0-2, from the first leg}.
Not watching the match, but did just discover that Italian Twitter is ablaze with memes about Wes allegedly dating Chiara Frattesi, who is the sister of Inter Milan's Davide Frattesi? An English translation with the details of the rumor can be found in this auto-translated Il Messaggero article: https://www.ilmessaggero.it/en/chia...th_juventus_star_weston_mckennie-8075228.html
Yeah this has been the scuttlebutt going around in Italy for a couple of months now. I've seen it mentioned on boards but didn't see anything in the media about it until your post. There's more talk about her being an Inter "Merda" player's sister than the fact that she's a model/celeb, lol.
Wait... Wes and a player's sister... ohhhhhhh that's good for a bunch of... freis, you promised...! Ok better angel, ok... sigh.
