McTominay, 29, left Manchester United in the summer of 2024 after making more than 250 appearances for the club and joined Napoli in a deal worth around £32 million. Since moving to Italy, he has become a key figure for Serie A, helping them win the league title in his first season and earning individual plaudits for his performances.
Reports from Italy suggest that McTominay has maintained strong form in Naples and has been influential in Napoli’s midfield. Despite his success, sources familiar with the situation claim he has considered a return to English football in 2026, with Manchester United emerging as the front runners among several clubs monitoring his situation.
CHELSEAMcTominay’s interest in McTominay comes against a backdrop of changing midfield needs at Stamford Bridge. The club is looking for experienced, dynamic midfield players who can contribute both defensively and forward.
McTominay’s physical presence, goal threat and familiarity with the club have been cited as attractive qualities by Chelsea officials.
While Chelsea’s interest is clear, the prospect of Napoli selling McTominay is less straightforward. Napoli reportedly value the midfielder highly after his strong performances in Serie A and could demand a significant fee to part ways with one of their key players.
Recent transfer rumors suggest Napoli could command a high price tag to fend off interest from several Premier League clubs.
Past CHELSEAThe midfielder has also attracted the attention of rival Premier League clubs, with some reports suggesting Manchester United and others are monitoring his situation. This wider interest could put Napoli in a favorable negotiating position if United decide to press ahead with a summer move.
For his part, McTominay’s position seems nuanced. Sources close to the player claim he remains happy at Napoli, where he is celebrated by supporters and coaching staff alike.
Napoli’s sporting project and contract situation will be important considerations. McTominay has a contract until the summer of 2028, which gives the Italian team influence in any transfer talks.
It is believed that Naples officials value the continuity in their midfield and may resist offers that do not meet their valuation.
As the summer transfer window approaches, both CHELSEA and Napoli are expected to assess their priorities.
