"Weston McKennie's agent Cory Gibbs has hit out at reports that the midfielder's contract negotiations with Juventus have broken down and he could be set for a move to MLS. McKennie, whose deal expires in the summer of 2026, is yet to sign a new contract and reports in the Italian media have claimed issues such as agent commissions have led to talks breaking down, which could lead to him playing in his home country next year."
"However, Gibbs took to X to discredit those rumours on Tuesday, posting: "I normally don't respond to social media posts, but when false information is being spread, especially from verified handles, I have to intervene. "This is Weston's agent and I can confirm everything below is FALSE. Know your facts before spreading lies and propaganda."

Cory Gibbs, Weston McKennie's agent, publicly denied claims that contract negotiations with Juventus have collapsed and that McKennie could move to MLS. McKennie's current contract with Juventus runs until summer 2026 and no new deal has been signed. Italian media linked negotiations difficulties to agent commission disputes, suggesting a potential return to the United States. Gibbs posted on X calling the reports false and urged verification of facts. McKennie will be free to speak to other clubs from January when the transfer window opens. McKennie has played in Europe since 2016 for Schalke, Juventus and Leeds United.
