Napoli have successfully landed Scott McTominay from Manchester United, marking a significant reinforcement for Antonio Conte’s squad. The deal, valued at a fixed base of €20-22 million plus substantial bonuses, represents a clear statement of intent from the Italian club.
SportItalia journalist Alfredo Pedulla reports how this transfer breakthrough sends a strong message to skeptics who doubted Napoli’s ambitions in the transfer market. McTominay was identified as a top priority for Conte, and the Scottish international is set to sign a four-year contract with an option for an additional year, underlining the club’s long-term commitment to the player.
Napoli’s sporting director Manna’s recent mission to London aimed to secure three key signings: Lukaku, who has already been acquired, McTominay, who is now virtually in the Azzurri shirt, and Gilmour from Brighton, whose details are still being finalized.
The urgency to complete McTominay’s transfer highlights Napoli’s determination to provide Conte with a midfielder of considerable caliber. This acquisition is viewed as a major coup that aligns perfectly with the club’s ambitious goals for the upcoming season.
