USMNT star Weston McKennie is hugely enjoying being back in his home country, as Juventus' US preseason tour has seen him show off his goofy side alongside fans and teammates.
The Italian club played its first preseason match last week at Allegiant Stadium, the home of the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders, and McKennie wasted little time having fun there.
He played head tennis with a fan prior to a friendly with Mexican club Guadalajara, before the club played Barcelona four days later at Texas' Cotton Bowl and then later jetted off to Los Angeles where Juve will play Real Madrid Saturday night at the Rose Bowl.
McKennie has brought his good vibes over to LA, where he danced Friday night at the thought of Beyonce's new album "RENAISSANCE", and later played piano to the delight of his teammates backstage at The Lumineers' Crypto.com Arena (formerly known as the Staples Center) concert.
He's also been spotted playing basketball while in California, as the 23-year-old swished a pair of three-pointers at an indoor court.
McKennie's lightheartedness comes at a pivotal point in his career.
The Texas native is expected to be a key player for the USMNT in this fall's World Cup, and the midfielder has been heavily linked with a move to Spurs this summer.
He's been an unused substitute in both Juventus friendlies so far, though he has seen limited game action since returning in May from a metatarsal fracture.
Sportsmail reported earlier this week that McKennie is being targeted by Tottenham, but Juventus may be hesitant to sell him after Paul Pogba injured his knee.
The Italian club rate him at approximately $41million, according to the report.
McKennie has been confined to a somewhat bit-part role at Juventus, starting 33 games total in Serie A over the last two seasons.
When he has had a chance, however, the American has shown promise.
He's scored 10 goals and registered three assists for Juve in 46 starts across all competitions. Spurs have reportedly been interested in him since at least 2021.
