According to reports, Juventus are demanding a £31 million fee from Leeds United for Weston McKennie, who has agreed personal terms with the Premier League team.
Leeds have reportedly made an opening proposal of roughly £25 million (€28 million) for the USMNT midfielder.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Juventus are willing to sell the 24-year-old this month but have urged Leeds to up their offer to £31 million (€35 million). McKennie has already agreed to personal terms with Leeds, and the two clubs are currently negotiating a contractual agreement.

In the January transfer window, the midfielder was linked to a number of Premier League teams, including Aston Villa, Tottenham, and Bournemouth.
But it has been suggested that having an American manager in Jesse Marsch might convince him to take up the offer at Elland Road.
McKennie, who made a permanent move to Juventus from Schalke in July 2021, has only contributed 13 goals and five assists in 96 appearances across all competitions.
In Serie A against Monza on Sunday, Juventus will resume play. McKennie’s participation is still in the air, however, Leeds is attempting to sign him before the January 31 deadline.
