January 28 According to a report by Juventus and team reporter Nicola Balice
However, Leeds United’s transfer negotiations for Juventus midfielder McKennie did not go as smoothly as previously reported, and the two sides still have big differences in the transfer method.
This report mentioned that at first McKenney most wanted to join Arsenal, but the Gunners had many other priority goals, so Leeds United gradually gained the upper hand.
The player himself is willing to join, but if the two clubs fail to reach an agreement, McKennie does not mind staying at Juventus until the end of the season.
So far, Juventus has not reached an agreement with Leeds. The difference between the two parties is not the transfer valuation. Juventus is asking for 30 million to 35 million euros. This figure did not scare Leeds away, but Juventus asked for a mandatory buyout clause while opening the loan option.
(at least the conditions that are relatively easy to trigger).
On the contrary, Leeds United insists on the loan optional buyout plan, and is willing to increase the loan fee to 5 million euros, but this condition is still not enough for Juventus.
At present, the transfer intermediary is still mediating, and the negotiations between the two parties are still continuing, but Juventus will not give up the conditions for a mandatory buyout, so Leeds will need to make a decision next.
