Scott McTominay hefty Napoli transfer fee revealed

A product of Manchester United’s academy, Scott McTominay made his senior debut in May 2017 under José Mourinho, quickly establishing himself as a reliable first-team option.

Across seven seasons at Old Trafford, McTominay made 255 first-team appearances, scoring 29 goals in all competitions, primarily operating as a box-to-box midfielder or deeper central option depending on tactical needs.

During his United career, he won one FA Cup (2016–17) and one League Cup (2022–23), while also featuring in a Europa League final and several Champions League campaigns.

In August 2024, McTominay completed a permanent move to Napoli, with United receiving a reported fee of around £25 million (€30m) for the Scotland international.

The switch to Italy proved transformative, as McTominay became a key figure under Antonio Conte, thriving in a clearly defined midfield role that maximised his physicality, timing and goal threat.

In his first season with Napoli, McTominay played a pivotal role in their Serie A title-winning campaign, contributing decisive goals and consistently strong performances in high-pressure fixtures.

His impact was recognised league-wide when he was named Serie A Player of the Year, marking the most decorated individual season of his professional career.

McTominay has so far won two major trophies with Napoli, adding the Serie A title to his honours list and most recently, the Italian Super Cup, while also cementing his status as one of the league’s standout midfielders.

The success of his Napoli spell has reignited interest from Premier League clubs, while also prompting reflection at United over the departure of an academy graduate now operating at the peak of his powers.

According to CaughtOffside, Manchester United privately regret sanctioning his departure and are now entertaining the idea of a future reunion.

The reduced pace and heightened emphasis on structure in Italian football have allowed him to impact games without being exposed defensively.

Within the club, McTominay is viewed as a leader and a cornerstone of Conte’s midfield, making Napoli reluctant sellers.

That said, any serious talks would only begin at a valuation of around £60 million, reflecting both his form and importance to the system.

A January exit is considered highly unlikely as Napoli push for further silverware, though sources concede that an exceptional offer could prompt reconsideration.

Interest is not limited to United. Tottenham Hotspur, now guided by Thomas Frank, admire McTominay’s ability to add goals and presence from midfield.

Arsenal see him as a high-calibre rotational option, while Newcastle United remain long-standing admirers of his profile.
