Manchester United and Napoli have reportedly come to an agreement for the transfer of midfielder Scott McTominay. According to sources, Napoli have agreed to pay around £25 million for the 27-year-old player, and McTominay has been given the green light to discuss personal terms with the Italian club.
Despite interest from other Premier League clubs like Fulham and Everton, McTominay seems set on a move to Napoli. It is reported that the player has been associated with Manchester United since the young age of six and is now looking for a new challenge in a different league.
Although Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, has expressed his desire for McTominay to stay at the club, the midfielder is eager to secure more regular playing time. Last season, McTominay made 43 appearances but often found himself coming off the bench under Ten Hag. His desire for consistent game time has led him to consider a move to Napoli.
If McTominay does indeed finalize his move to Napoli, it could have implications for Manchester United’s negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain for midfielder Manuel Ugarte. PSG have been holding out for a fee of £51 million, a valuation that United have been hesitant to meet. The departure of McTominay could provide United with the flexibility needed to meet PSG’s demands.
With the transfer deadline fast approaching, it remains to be seen whether Scott McTominay will make the switch to Napoli. His potential departure from Manchester United could shake up the midfield dynamics at the club and pave the way for new signings. As negotiations continue between the involved parties, football fans will be eagerly waiting to see how this transfer saga unfolds.
