Scott McTominay, the super reserve at Manchester United under Erik Ten Hag, a player the Dutchman preferred to use at the end of games when it was time to fight for wins or points. The Scot was tired of this role, pushing for an exit in the summer of 2024. The United management willingly opened the door and thought they had received a good sales income, as Napoli put £25.7 million on the table. Almost two seasons later, Napoli fans still call it “the big steal”. The Scot went on in his debut season as Serie A Player of the Year and starred in Napoli’s league title. Now they are fighting hard to bring “all-in” McTominay back to the Premier League. Napoli will make sure that the Scotsman does not get homesick.
Antonio Conte has given McTominay one of the main roles in the Napoli attack, the Scot playing as naturally in left midfield and wing as the central midfield. When Conte has been thinly covered in defensive midfield, McTominay has played in this position. In short, a coach’s dream player. The 29-year-old has also delivered 23 goals and 10 assists in 70 games in the light blue shirt.

According to transfer journalist Nicolo Schira, Napoli are now facing pressure from the ball island to extend Scott McTominay’s contract. The Napoli star has reportedly been offered a contract until 2030 with an option for another season. The offer includes a substantial salary increase, with no amount known.
And McTominay’s response? According to the transfer journalist, McTominay wants to continue his success at Napoli. The talks/negotiations between the club and the Scot are positive, it is reported.
