Weston McKennie’s recent club performances might’ve landed him a new contract to keep playing in Serie A.
It has been recently reported that Juventus have started negotiations with Weston McKennie’s agents to keep the American at the club for years to come. With the USMNT midfielder's current bianconeri contract expiring next summer, the club would be offering McKennie to renew until 2027 with a salary increase.
Jordan Pefok’s recent form to start 2024 deserves recognition and an international call-up in March if he remains consistent.
The 26-year-old provided an assist in Borussia Monchengladbach’s 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich on Saturday marking his third goal contribution in his last four Bundesliga games.

United States men’s national team talent Gio Reyna has been linked to several clubs across Europe as he seeks playing time away from Borussia Dortmund. There were many reports on where he could go but, in the end, a Gio Reyna Nottingham Forest loan is the outcome.
Reyna will be loaned to Forest until the end of the 2023-24 season, however the Premier League club won’t be given the option to permanently buy. Instead, the 21-year-old has signed a new contract with Dortmund that runs through 2026.
Gio Reyna Nottingham Forest loan
Nottingham Forest nearly secured a big point at home against Arsenal however a costly Matt Turner mistake at his near post saw the Gunners win 2-1 on Tuesday.
The latest Matt Turner mistake featured the United States men’s national team goalkeeper conceding a goal between his legs. Turner’s errors are cause for concern among the USMNT faithful.
In the 65th minute with the score tied 0-0 Gabriel Jesus was in on Forest’s goal but at a tight angle. What should have been a standard save instead turned into disaster for Turner as it went right through the wickets.
