Scott McTominay’s time at Manchester United is coming to an end.
Having been the subject of transfer rumours all summer, just like the midfielder was during the 2023 off-season window, Napoli moved in late for the player.
Initially they didn’t want to go anywhere near the €30m Manchester United were demanding for the player, but Antonio Conte pushed for the transfer to be done.
Difficulty getting other deals over the line, such as Brighton & Hove Albion’s Billy Gilmour, had angered the manager and therefore securing McTominay was a real test for the Serie A side.
They’ve managed to do that, getting close to the €30m figure and potentially hitting it when bonuses are taken into account. That looks like a good deal for all involved, and McTominay has now travelled to complete the formalities of a move.
