Juventus is in talks to sign Weston McKennie from Schalke.

McKennie grew up in Dallas and played for the youth system of FC Dallas before moving to Schalke. 

Bundesliga rivals Hertha Berlin were confident of completing a move for McKennie earlier in the summer, but he preferred a move out of Germany.

Andrea Pirlo is a key figure in trying to sign the USMNT midfielder.
