USA coach Gregg Berhalter suggests joining Weston McKennie at Juventus may not be Bryan Reynolds’ priority.
McKennie, a former Schalke 04 man, joined Juventus on loan with option to buy last summer.
“I know Weston very well. His style of play and his spirit are so important for a team. I was sure he would play an important role in a top team like Juventus,” Berhalter told Tuttosport.
“He has room for improvement, he is still so young. Surely, he has been improving at Juventus. When you play every day with big champions like Cristiano Ronaldo, you can only improve if you really want it, and Weston wants to reach the top.
“I always watch Juventus matches and this role is perfect for him, because of his intensity and his late runs into the box. I am happy he scored two goals, one against Barcelona.”
FC Dallas’ Bryan Reynolds could soon join his compatriot in Turin.
“Bryan has offensive characteristics; he is very dynamic with a special ability for crosses. He is an exceptional talent, but he is still young. He needs to improve in the defensive phase,” Berhalter added.
Club Brugge and Roma are also being linked with the 19-year-old. Where will he end up?
“These are personal decisions. Serie A is like a University for defenders and he would have a chance to become a complete player in Italy.
“I think that playing with another American in a top club like Juventus would be a good opportunity for him, but not an absolute priority, we’ll see what happens.”
