McTominay's renewal at risk: Manna sends messages, but a sale looms January

SSC Napoli club is considering the contract renewal of Scott McTominay, but the negotiation is complicated: messages exchanged between Manna and the player's entourage indicate that a transfer could happen between January and June.

Message exchange and first indications

According to Il Mattino, in recent days there has been "some small progress on the extension front": Manna and McTominay's staff have exchanged messages to set new appointments. The extension request put forward by the player's parents exceeds €8 million, a figure that president De Laurentiis considers unacceptable.

The renewal is urgent because the contract expires in June 2028; Napoli fears losing the midfielder already next summer. The biggest concern is that, already in January, a shock offer could push the club to consider his departure.

McTominay's return is considered essential by Allegri to give new impetus to the squad. However, the difficulty in renewing could jeopardise this plan.

The club has started assessing the player's future, taking into account both the sporting and financial aspects.

At the moment, the situation remains uncertain: the parents' proposal exceeds the sustainable threshold, and the possibility of a transfer in January remains on the table.
