Chelsea and Tottenham transfer target Weston McKennie could be available for €30million (£25.7million) after reports in Italy stated Juventus will listen to offers for him in the January transfer window.
McKennie, 24, has been long admired by the two London clubs during his time in Italy but has remained at Juventus. However, after his star performances for USA in the World Cup, the future of the midfielder remains in further doubt ahead of January.
After falling down the pecking order at the Juventus Stadium, it seems as though the Old Lady will finally cash in on McKennie next month. That's according to Calciomercato, who claim the Italian giants will be open to letting the USMNT international leave.

However, Spurs and Chelsea will have to act fast as the story states McKennie's representatives have already spoken to Borussia Dortmund and Aston Villa. Antonio Conte's side possess a slight advantage in the race to lure McKennie to north London in Fabio Paratici.
The Italian was instrumental in McKennie's move to Juventus two-and-a-half years ago, constructing an initial loan deal with an option to buy.
After USA's 0-0 draw with England, former Spurs goalkeeper Brad Friedel urged his former side to bring the midfielder to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Speaking to Online Casio, he said: "If the finances work then Tottenham should definitely be in for McKennie. He’s the best central midfielder the US has ever had," the former shot-stopper told Online Casino.
"Against England he showed his quality and I think he’d be a brilliant addition for any big side in Europe."
