Sources close to the agent industry have informed Caught offside that Man United dreams of bringing the midfielder back home.
At Napoli, McTominay has not only established himself as a cornerstone of the team, but has also been crowned Serie A’s Player of the Yeara remarkable achievement that has inevitably reignited the interest of Premier League clubs.
Scott McTominay has turned his career at Napoli around
Under Antonio Conte’s guidance, McTominay has flourished in a role that perfectly suits his strengths.
Freed from some of the tactical constraints he faced in England, the 29-year-old has become a dominant box-to-box force.
His contributions were crucial in Napoli’s title-winning campaign, with goals coming at crucial moments and his leadership becoming increasingly apparent in high-pressure matches.
The slower, more tactical pace of Serie A has allowed him to read the game better, get into the penalty area late and impose himself physically without becoming overexposed defensively.
Napoli’s preference is clear, they want to keep their star. However, the club must also consider financial balance and long-term planning.
Napoli would only consider opening negotiations for around £60 million, a figure that reflects both McTominay’s current form and his importance to Conte’s system.
Although Napoli are strongly against losing him in January as they push for another Scudetto, insiders acknowledge an extraordinary bid could force a rethink.
Man United regret letting the midfielder leave
Man United are said to regret the departure of their youth graduate and are considering bringing him back to Old Trafford.
Tottenham, led by Thomas Frank, are keen to add goals and physical presence from midfield, qualities that McTominay offers in abundance, and they have joined their Premier League rivals in expressing an interest in signing the 29-year-old.
Arsenal and Newcastle United are also monitoring the situation, with Arsenal viewing him as a high-level rotation option and Newcastle long-time admirers of his profile.
Estimates from those close to the situation suggest a roughly 70% chance of a summer move, while there is only around a 30% chance of Napoli sanctioning a mid-season departure.
