A shocking departure for €40 million? Napoli risk losing one of their biggest stars
Napoli could lose one of their most important players in a sensational summer transfer! Scott McTominay's future has become increasingly uncertain after talks over a new contract reportedly reached a deadlock. The Scottish midfielder, who transformed his career in Italy, could now consider leaving the club.
Details: On November 10, Polymarket Sports reported that McTominay could leave Napoli in summer 2027 after negotiations stalled. The post valued him at €40 million, although that figure is not a confirmed asking price. His current contract runs until June 2028, and Napoli have been working on an extension until 2030.
According to Italian reports, the main obstacle is money. McTominay currently earns approximately €4 million net per season, while Napoli are prepared to offer around €6 million plus bonuses. The player's representatives are reportedly seeking between €8 million and €9 million annually. The significant difference has prevented the sides from reaching an agreement.
The midfielder also wants guarantees about Napoli's sporting ambitions. The team have endured an inconsistent campaign under Massimiliano Allegri and sit tenth in Serie A. Despite those difficulties, McTominay remains an important performer, having scored four goals in six appearances during October. Manchester United, Aston Villa and Real Madrid have all been linked with the Scotland international.
It's worth noting that McTominay joined Napoli from Manchester United in 2024 and helped the club win the Serie A title in his first season, earning the league's MVP award. No official transfer request or agreement has been announced. With his contract lasting until 2028, Napoli are not obliged to sell him next summer.
Reminder: The Special One's request at the Santiago Bernabéu: Mourinho wants Napoli midfielder at Real Madrid.
