Inter Milan Ready To Pounce If Juventus Talks Fall Through With USA International | OneFootball

Inter Milan are keeping a close watch on the contract situation of Weston McKennie, ready to step in if renewal talks with Juventus fail to reach a positive conclusion.

McKennie’s current deal in Turin runs until June 30, 2026.

Without an extension the American international could become a prime free-transfer opportunity.

Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, confirm that Inter’s interest is genuine, even if Juventus remain confident they can secure his long-term future.

The Bianconeri’s stance is clear: contacts with the player’s representatives have never stopped and the intention is to reach an agreement.

However, several European clubs are circling in the background, and Inter are among those closely monitoring developments.

Inter president Beppe Marotta is well known for exploiting contract situations, often waiting patiently before striking at the right moment.

In this case, Juventus are under pressure to act decisively.

Indeed, to bring clarity to McKennie’s future before external interest grows stronger.

According to the report, discussions between Juventus and the player’s camp are set to intensify from next week.

Of course, with the renewal considered a priority inside the club.

Still, until a signature is on paper, Inter remain poised to make their move should negotiations falter.

For the Nerazzurri, a versatile midfielder with Serie A experience available at zero cost would fit perfectly into their opportunistic market strategy. For Juventus, that possibility only adds urgency to closing the deal swiftly.
