According to the latest reports, Napoli’s midfield is undergoing significant changes this transfer window. The club has already seen the departures of Piotr Zielinski to Inter Milan, Diego Demme to Hertha Berlin, and the returns of Leander Dendoncker and Hamed Junior Traorè to their parent clubs.
According to Calciomercato, in the latest development, Scott McTominay has reportedly given his approval to join Napoli, a move desired by new manager Antonio Conte. The Scottish international, a product of Manchester United’s youth academy, has made 253 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring 29 goals and providing 8 assists.
Manchester United seems open to McTominay’s departure, as they are in talks to sign Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain. This potential move aligns with Napoli’s midfield restructuring plans.
Meanwhile, Jens Cajuste is set to join Ipswich Town on loan with an option or obligation to buy. In Italy, Cagliari is pushing to re-sign Gianluca Gaetano, while Michael Folorunsho is expected to reunite with his former coach Baroni at Lazio.
Napoli is also close to finalizing the arrival of Billy Gilmour from Brighton, further bolstering their midfield options.
