55 Bundesliga Live,In the 2019-2020 season, at the age of 21, midfielder McKennie racked up twenty-eight games in the Bundesliga for Schalke 04 and contributed three goals, which was objectively okay, but the American youngster was very much in demand in the transfer market.

It is understood that he is able to play almost any position in the midfield, no matter in the defense line or in the offensive line, he can greatly play his own role, in general, he is a technical comprehensive all-round player. Because of this, Schalke is quite hopeful that he can continue to stay, but, in addition to Hertha Berlin, the Premier League team has also expressed a strong interest in McKennie.
Schalke expects to do everything in its power to retain McElhinney
However, if any of the teams fail to make an offer of 20 million euros, Schalke may agree to McKennie's departure, as they are now facing huge financial pressure. But from the perspective of the team's future, Schalke still hope that McKennie can stay in the team, for which they will give some generous conditions. Currently, Schalke is planning to award the captain's armband to McKennie at a suitable time in the future, so that he can take greater responsibility on the pitch.
