Napoli prepare lucrative Scott McTominay contract to secure future
Napoli are preparing to make Scott McTominay one of their highest-paid players with a new contract until 2030 to secure his long-term future in Italy.
The Scottish midfielder has excelled in Serie A since departing Manchester United in 2024.
Despite speculation linking him with a return to Old Trafford, the Italian club are determined to retain his services.
With two years remaining on his current deal, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis has instructed director Giovanni Manna to begin formal negotiations.
Managerial changes do not alter plans
The former United academy graduate’s future appeared briefly uncertain following Antonio Conte’s departure from the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.
However, newly appointed manager Max Allegri considers the dynamic box-to-box player central to his tactical project.
The 29-year-old has established himself as a dominant force in Italian football, remarkably scoring 27 goals in 80 appearances across all competitions for the Partenopei.
A home away from home
The Scotland international has publicly expressed a strong desire to remain in Naples for the foreseeable future.
“I am extremely happy here and, as far as I am concerned, I am a Napoli player,” he previously stated.
“The future is very important, and I could see myself in Napoli for a long time. I love this place.”
Despite the board’s aggressive push for a renewal, club officials have acknowledged the financial challenges of retaining top talent in Serie A against competing European leagues.
Securing the prolific goalscoring midfielder on improved terms would represent a significant statement of intent for Allegri’s new era.
