Overview
- Multiple Italian and UK reports on Monday say talks have stalled because McTominay is asking for a deal running to about 2030 with reported wages of €8–9m per season.
- Napoli have shown reluctance to match those terms and are considering selling the midfielder in summer 2027 to protect his transfer value as his contract shortens.
- The club’s working valuation is reported at roughly €25–30m, a figure shaped by McTominay turning 30 next season and having limited time left on his contract.
- McTominay has recovered from a benign heart arrhythmia after a pulsed-field ablation in September, has returned to training and faces a fitness assessment that could clear him to play and to be available for transfer talks.
- Manchester United and Aston Villa made enquiries in the summer and could renew interest if Napoli stick to a hard line, with other clubs also linked should he be placed on the market.
