because his contract was expiring in 2025 so it was either a sale or an extension. mckennie asked for too much and didn't want to extend on jj's terms so yeah, everyone in their sane mind would have put him on the market
he also signed a short extension. he doesn't seem to be very dedicated to stay here. anyway, i don't mind him, he should have a longer contract though
His passing has been great, first touches are silky, he is flicking the ball over players heads, looks fast and explosive. He is scoring and assisting goals...
He doesn't overthink it, goes with his instinct, has the chill vibe about him and that works. Gets his confidence from Motta which he never had from Allegri, nor at Leeds. It's working, I hope some of the other players try out his ranch dressing.
