Reports Link Everton to €70 Million Bid for Napoli Star Scott McTominay

The claim originates with Spanish outlet Fichajes, with coverage stressing Napoli’s reluctance to sell.

Overview

  • Multiple English outlets cite Fichajes in reporting that Everton are preparing a club‑record €70m (£62m) offer for the midfielder.
  • Pieces referencing Football Insider and Fichajes say David Moyes views McTominay as a late‑runner, box‑crashing profile similar to Marouane Fellaini.
  • McTominay has transformed at Napoli under Antonio Conte, winning Serie A, being named league MVP, and placing 18th in the 2025 Ballon d’Or.
  • Reports note Napoli would require a substantial fee and suggest a January transfer would be difficult, with some coverage questioning the reliability of the source and the feasibility for Everton.
  • Bookmaker odds and separate reports continue to link other Premier League sides, with Newcastle named among the leading contenders, while Manchester United’s 2024 €30m sale keeps drawing criticism from former figures.
