Could the Spanish giants snap up the Scottish star? Italian reports say Real Madrid and several Premier League sides are probing a move for Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay if Napoli can’t seal a new deal.
McTominay’s contract saga fuels Real Madrid and Premier League interest
McTominay is entering the third year of the four‑year contract he inked after swapping Manchester United for Napoli in the summer of 2024.
With his deal running to 2028, worries grow that next summer’s window could be the last chance to cash in on the 2024‑25 Serie A MVP, since he may leave on a free transfer in 2027 without an extension.
Sources claim McTominay has urged his agents to reopen Napoli talks, yet hints suggest that a swift stalemate could see him entertain offers elsewhere in upcoming windows.
Tuttomercatoweb reports Real Madrid have reached out to his camp for a status update, and that a handful of other Premier clubs are poised to follow suit. For my money, Napoli must fight hard to keep their midfield talisman.
Napoli insist they won’t list McTominay for sale, hoping to repel interest at least through the January window, according to Thursday’s report.
That strategy would keep the midfielder until at least the 2026‑27 season and grant Napoli extra months to hammer out a fresh contract.
