“The agreement we have made with Juventus is the most financially beneficial for Schalke and the most attractive sporting move for Weston,” said Schalke head of sport Jochen Schneider in a statement and added:
“Obviously deciding to let go one of our most talented players like Weston is partly down to the financial state the club is in. We would like to thank Weston for his outstanding performances and wish him all the best for his time at Juventus.”
According to reports, the Serie A champions have secured an option to buy the U.S. international for €18 million.
The central midfielder, who is under contract with Schalke until 2024, played 32 games for 'The Royal Blues' last season, scoring three goals and making an assist.
