Napoli’s pursuit of Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay has hit a slight delay, but the transfer is still on track to be completed before the deadline. The Scottish international was initially expected to arrive in Italy on Wednesday, August 28, to finalize his move to the Serie A club. However, the latest reports indicate that his journey has been postponed by a day.
Gianluca Di Marzio confirms that the reason for this delay appears to be ongoing paperwork between the two clubs. Manchester United and Napoli are still in the process of finalizing the necessary documents for the transfer, which is reportedly worth around €30 million. This last-minute hold-up has pushed McTominay’s travel plans back by 24 hours.
As it stands, the 27-year-old midfielder is now scheduled to fly to Naples on Thursday, August 29. Upon his arrival, McTominay will undergo a medical examination and complete the remaining formalities to become Antonio Conte’s newest addition to the Napoli squad.
The club is keen to expedite the registration process, allowing McTominay to integrate with the team as quickly as possible. This urgency suggests that Napoli views the Scottish player as an important piece in their midfield puzzle for the upcoming season.
McTominay’s impending move to Napoli marks a significant change in his career after coming through the ranks at Manchester United. His versatility and energy in midfield are expected to bolster Napoli’s options as they aim to compete on multiple fronts this season.
