Real Madrid have surprisingly set their sights on Napoli midfielder Scott McTominay, who has been in impressive form since leaving English football.

Details: According to reputable outlet Goal.com, the Spanish giants are closely monitoring the situation of the 29-year-old Scotland international and are weighing up the possibility of making a move.

Talks between the player and the Naples-based club over a new and improved contract have currently stalled due to his salary demands. José Mourinho could also play a role in a potential deal: the Portuguese coach has long valued the Scot's physical strength, work rate and goalscoring ability from their time working together.

Although Napoli are keen to retain their key midfielder and have officially confirmed his return to full training following a medical examination related to heart problems, the uncertainty surrounding the player's long-term future has fuelled speculation about a possible move to the Santiago Bernabéu.

McTominay has made two Serie A appearances this season without registering a goal or assist. His current contract with the Italian giants runs until the summer of 2028.
