Weston McKennie has professed his desire to spend the rest of his career at Juventus, describing the prospect as a dream come true ahead of a pre-season meeting with Inter.
According to calciomercato.com, relaying Tuttosport, the American midfielder, set to start against the champions, reflected on his longevity in Turin. "Staying so long at a club, and especially a club like Juventus, isn't easy," he said.
"Being here for six years already and starting, I think, my seventh season is a dream come true, so I hope I can carry on."
A lesson from Andrea Pirlo has stayed with him: "He told me something that stuck in my mind: any player can be lucky enough to reach a club like this and stay a year or two, but only the professionals, the ones who can perform day after day, manage to stay at such a club for five, six or seven years."
Tellingly, McKennie named a Roma icon as his boyhood idol. "Even if some people won't like hearing me say it, my idol was Francesco Totti, above all for his loyalty," he said, "but I'd also cite the example of Del Piero, of course."
