Napoli are reportedly keen on signing 27-year-old Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay, with Everton also interested.
According to an update by reputed Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Napoli have submitted an offer worth €25 million Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay. However, the bid is expected to fail, with the Red Devils demanding €30 million to part ways with him in the summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, a report from Football Insider has revealed that Everton are keen on signing the Scottish international midfielder as well. McTominay needs to leave Manchester United to play regularly.
Moving to Napoli is an exciting opportunity for him. The Serie A giants are one of the biggest clubs in Italy, and they have quality players at their disposal. He would get to work with a world-class manager like Antonio Conte as well.
Manchester United could be tempted to get rid of the Scot this summer especially if they can find a quality alternative. The player is valued at €30 million, and Napoli’s offer is certainly very close to that.
It is fair to assume that the two clubs could reach a compromise in the remaining days of the window. Scott McTominay is not a regular starter for Manchester United, and he needs to move on to play regularly.
Everton keen on signing Scott McTominay
Everton need more quality and depth in the middle of the park as well. They need someone who can add drive, creativity and defensive cover. McTominay certainly fits the profile, and he could be a quality addition.
Everton have been fighting the relegation battle in the last two seasons, and they will look to finish higher up the table. They need quality players to remain alive in the Premier League. McTominay is a proven performer in the Premier League, and he could transform them in the middle of the park.
Regular football at Napoli or Everton would be ideal for the midfielder’s development as well. He is entering the peak of his career and he needs to play more often. It will be interesting to see if Everton follow up on their interest with an official proposal to sign the Scottish international in the next few days. With Napoli already on the prowl, Everton must look to step up their efforts and accelerate their bid to sign the player.
