Napoli may sell McTominay.

Napoli are facing the prospect of having to make a difficult decision regarding the future of Scott McTominay.

McTominay's future has suddenly become unpredictable.

The Scottish star has become an irreplaceable mainstay for Napoli since leaving Manchester United. However, emerging financial problems may force the southern Italian club to consider selling the midfielder, despite him being at the peak of his form.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport , Napoli is facing problems with new financial regulations related to the "ratio of personnel costs to revenue". The team has fallen below the permitted threshold of 0.8, meaning they could face restrictions in the transfer market if they do not balance their budget soon.

The situation could become even more serious next summer, when the financial threshold will be tightened to 0.7. Failure to meet the regulations could even lead to a transfer ban. This is the worst-case scenario for Napoli.

In this context, McTominay is highly likely to be sold to resolve the financial difficulties. According to Transfermarkt , the 29-year-old midfielder is currently valued at around 45 million euros, a figure that would be enough to bring Napoli a significant profit if they are forced to sacrifice their brightest star.

Joining Napoli from Manchester United in 2024 for a fee of £25.7 million, McTominay quickly made a significant impact. In his first season, he scored 13 goals, playing a major role in Napoli's Serie A title win. His outstanding performance earned him the Player of the Season award.

Entering this season, McTominay continued his consistent form with 5 goals, helping Napoli stay close to the title race, trailing the leaders by only 2 points. Coach Antonio Conte's team also recently won the Italian Super Cup after a 2-0 victory over Bologna.
