McKennie, 19, signed a new contract extension with Schalke on Wednesday, committing his future to the club through the 2021-22 season.

He’d started the last two matches for Schalke, his first two Bundesliga starts, and has become a big part of the club’s future since arriving from FC Dallas.
McKennie did not mince his words when describing his commitment to Gelsenkirchen in a press release:
Pulisic extended his deal at Dortmund in January, locking him to BVB through 2019-20. Both players could become the most important players on the USMNT within a couple years (Well, Pulisic already is).
