According to journalist Nicolo Schira, coach Jose Mourinho is reportedly monitoring Napoli midfielder Scott McTominy as a potential transfer target for the upcoming summer window. The Portuguese manager, who has previously worked with McTominy at Manchester United, has reportedly requested information regarding the possibility of the Scot joining the club at the Santiago Bernabéu. However, the transfer appears complicated given the current situation surrounding the player.
McTominy has expressed a strong preference to continue his career with Napoli. The Italian club is reportedly preparing a new contract extension for the midfielder that would keep him at the club until 2030, accompanied by a significant salary increase. Furthermore, reports indicate that McTominy has already declined highly lucrative offers from Saudi Arabian clubs.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid is actively engaged in rebuilding its squad following the previous season. The club’s sustained interest in McTominy suggests a strategic move to bolster their ranks. Despite the visible scouting efforts from Mourinho’s camp, McTominy’s commitment to Napoli, bolstered by lucrative local offers and his established relationship with the club, presents a significant hurdle for any potential move to Madrid.
The confluence of high interest from a major European club and the player’s deep ties to Napoli suggests that a transfer may face considerable resistance.
