Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham Circle Napoli’s McTominay as January Deal Unlikely

Napoli’s stance points to a deal only at around £60m outside the winter window.

Overview

  • New reporting says Manchester United are weighing a move to re-sign Scott McTominay, with Arsenal and Tottenham also in the frame and Newcastle still tracking the midfielder.
  • Napoli are described as unwilling to sell mid-season, with a contract running to 2028 and a valuation near £60m that would require an exceptional bid to test.
  • This season McTominay has five goals and three assists in 24 appearances as Antonio Conte’s side chase another title, sitting two points off Inter Milan.
  • His impact since leaving Old Trafford includes winning Serie A, being named the league’s Player of the Year and earning a 2025 Ballon d’Or nomination.
  • Public comments from McTominay praising life in Naples temper talk of a swift return to England, though insiders cited in reports view a summer transfer as more likely than January.
