The American midfielder was targeted during the semi-final first leg in Turin, prompting Lazio to face potential punishment for the behaviour of their fans. Racism has unfortunately resurfaced in Serie A in recent weeks, highlighted by Juan Jesus’ allegations that Francesco Acerbi racially abused him during a match between Inter Milan and Napoli. Despite the allegations, the Inter Milan defender was found not guilty and faced no punishment, a decision not universally accepted. ........... Authorities are reportedly strengthening punishments for racism and enhancing vigilance to identify perpetrators during upcoming Serie A matches. The objective is to identify and penalise as many perpetrators of racism as possible, potentially leading to bans from attending games, with the hope of deterring others from engaging in similar behaviour. ...........

The Juventus midfielder is destined for a departure with a year left on his deal. But the price Monchi is willing to pay is nearly half of what the Bianconeri value the American at. Aston Villa are eager to strengthen their squad ahead of one of the most important seasons in the club’s modern history. They are in the UEFA Champions League, and Unai Emery wants a squad strong enough to sustain the challenges of domestic football and Europe. ........... He has been a good performer for the Serie A club this season under Massimiliano Allegri. However, the chances of a renewal are remote, and a move to England would make a lot of sense for him. Some teams are interested in signing the midfielder, and Juventus are eager to sell him for at least €20-25 million. However, Monchi is using his old tactics from his Sevilla days and is only willing to offer €12-15 million for the 25-year-old midfielder. That price is almost half of what Juventus desire to sell the American, meaning the two clubs could now sit and discuss a bid to come towards a middle ground. As things stand, Juventus are eager to offload some of their key performers to raise funds in the market for new signings. They had envisaged €65 million for McKennie and Matias Soule together, with Aston Villa thought to hold an interest in the pair. More interestingly, Juventus are also keen on Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz, although the chances of that happening are remote at this stage. ...........

Juventus were set to take the Brazilian and send Weston McKennie and Samuel Iling-Junior to Aston Villa, along with a settlement of around €20m. However, McKennie’s personal terms haven’t been agreed yet, with no common-ground found between Aston Villa and the US international’s agents. ............

He wants to get something out of the transfer and would therefore be requesting a pay rise on what he currently earns with Juventus. €2.5m a year, which will be after tax. ............ Then there’s the commission, although nothing is shared in that regard yet. There’s still some confidence this deal will go through and that things can be sorted out in the next few days.
