€30 million could spark Premier League bidding for Scott McTominay
€30 million is the asking price set for Scott McTominay as Manchester United consider a sensational return to the Premier League, with the former Red Devils midfielder currently at Napoli and his contract due to expire next summer with two years left on his deal.
At 30, many clubs hesitate to spend heavily on a midfielder, but United's interest could test their transfer philosophy. Reports suggest that even if United opt out, several top Premier League sides are watching the situation. United have struggled recently and have been described as needing his personality in the squad.
Goal contributions at Napoli
McTominay recorded 37 goal involvements in 82 appearances for Napoli. He is praised for his experience and the leadership skills he brings to the side.
Negotiations over a new contract have stalled, leaving him at an impasse with two years remaining on his deal and a likely departure next summer. Napoli are only expecting around €30 million for a player with two years left on his contract.
During his spell in Italy he helped Napoli clinch the league, a level of performance United have struggled to match. The move was described as taking his game to a whole new level.
He rose through the Manchester United academy and delivered several standout games for the Red Devils, yet the club eventually felt they required a more dynamic box‑to‑box presence.
At an estimated €30 million, the fee is seen as a bargain and is expected to ignite a Premier League bidding frenzy, with multiple clubs poised to enter the race.
