Scott “all-in” McTominay. Player of the Year in Serie A. Among the top 20 in the Ballon d’O awards. The player Ole Gunnar Solskjaer described as a big mistake by Manchester United to let go. The player with the fantastic scissor kick goal in the World Cup qualifier against Denmark for a World Cup ticket for Scotland. In the past month, signals have come from Italy that the 28-year-old, despite enjoying himself on the pitch in Serie A, is open to a return to the Premier League. On the ball island, several clubs have positioned themselves for when this day will come.

According to Caughtoffside’s sources, Manchester United have realized it was a mistake, they are interested in bringing McTominay back to Old Trafford, but at Liverpool there is reported activity underway. According to the inky Fichajes, Everton have signalled they are ready for a massive €70 million bid ready for McTominay in January. Napoli themselves paid €25 million for the Scot, so the Toffees are betting on the size of the bid to set things in motion.
