Reports out of Europe on Wednesday have linked midfielder Weston McKennie—who was being shopped by Schalke 04 as the German club looks to shore up weakened finances—with a transfer to Italian giant Juventus. If the move happens it would put McKennie, who turns 22 on Friday, on the books of the nine-time defending Serie A champions and on the field alongside the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Paulo Dybala. Despite its domestic dominance, Juventus is undergoing a makeover in its pursuit of a long-awaited third European title. It recently hired former midfield legend Andrea Pirlo, who ended his career in MLS at New York City FC, as head coach and has aimed to shed a few older players with higher salaries (French World Cup winner Blaise Matuidi, 33, already has signed with MLS’s Inter Miami).

Undeterred, McKennie mounted a comeback with an impressive pre-season tour in the USA, compelling Allegri to reintegrate him into the team. Since the start of this season, the midfielder has emerged as one of the standout members of the Bianconeri team, earning a consistent spot on the team sheet. ........... “Wes is having a good season, I think he is maturing too after the experience on loan. I spoke to him too, he has physical strength that helps cover for a few technical errors, but when running into space, he can be devastating. “I told him at the start of the season that this was a very important year for him, he would be a wing-back and so he had to run back and forth.

The American midfielder was targeted during the semi-final first leg in Turin, prompting Lazio to face potential punishment for the behaviour of their fans. Racism has unfortunately resurfaced in Serie A in recent weeks, highlighted by Juan Jesus’ allegations that Francesco Acerbi racially abused him during a match between Inter Milan and Napoli. Despite the allegations, the Inter Milan defender was found not guilty and faced no punishment, a decision not universally accepted. ........... Authorities are reportedly strengthening punishments for racism and enhancing vigilance to identify perpetrators during upcoming Serie A matches. The objective is to identify and penalise as many perpetrators of racism as possible, potentially leading to bans from attending games, with the hope of deterring others from engaging in similar behaviour. ...........
