McTominay's unexpected destination

Scott McTominay is facing the possibility of leaving Napoli, amid reports that the Scottish midfielder is considering a return to the Premier League.

Manchester United are reportedly looking to bring McTominay back.

McTominay's future in Naples is in question. According to Goal , the midfielder is seriously considering a return to England amid tensions surrounding the immense pressure on one of Napoli's biggest stars. The Sun revealed that McTominay is beginning to struggle to adapt to certain aspects of life in Italy.

"Scott loves many things about Italy and had a fantastic first season," the source said. "But the excessive fanaticism was both a positive and a complication. He was treated like a saint, but it made everyday life feel stifling."

Amidst the speculation, Calciomercato reports that four clubs are closely monitoring McTominay's situation. Three of them are from the Premier League: Tottenham, Newcastle United, and Manchester United, while Barcelona is also reportedly keeping an eye on the midfielder.

Notably, La Gazzetta dello Sport revealed that Napoli faces the risk of transfer restrictions due to violating regulations on labor costs as a percentage of revenue, with their financial ratio reportedly falling below 0.8. If they cannot balance their books in time, Napoli will be forced to sell players to reinvest.

McTominay could leave Napoli in the near future.

McTominay is valued at around €45 million by Transfermarkt and has emerged as one of the most valuable assets. It's easy to understand why he would be a leading candidate for a major transfer if Napoli were to truly face financial difficulties.

Joining Napoli from Manchester United last summer for a fee of around £25 million, McTominay quickly caused a sensation in Serie A. In his debut season, the 29-year-old midfielder scored 13 goals in 36 games, playing a key role in helping Antonio Conte's team win the Scudetto.

That brilliant form not only earned him the Serie A Player of the Year award, but also earned McTominay a nomination for the 2025 Ballon d'Or, while he continued to shine for Scotland, securing a place in the 2026 World Cup.
