Scott McTominay, the former Manchester United midfielder, has seen a significant rise in his profile since his transfer to Napoli in 2024. After moving to Italy in a deal worth £25.7 million, McTominay quickly established himself as a key player, helping Napoli win the Serie A title in his first season.
Contract and Salary Overview
Currently, McTominay is earning approximately £90,000 per week. However, this figure may soon increase as Napoli is reportedly in negotiations for a new contract. His agent, Colin Murdock, has engaged with Napoli’s management to discuss extending McTominay’s current deal, which runs until 2028, potentially allowing him to stay until 2030 with an option for one more year.
Performance Highlights
- Joined Napoli in 2024 for £25.7 million.
- Secured the Serie A title in his debut season.
- Achieved a total of 13 goals and 6 assists, earning him the league’s MVP award.
- This season alone, he has contributed to 14 goals.
Such impressive performances have led to Napoli’s interest in securing McTominay for the long term. While there have been reports of other clubs, including those from the Premier League and Saudi Arabia, expressing interest, McTominay’s focus remains on continuing his career in Naples.
Future Prospects
This potential contract extension could eliminate any doubts regarding a return to Manchester United. However, United could still benefit from a sell-on clause included in McTominay’s original transfer agreement. If he were to move on, United would receive 10% of the transfer fee, which could amount to a minimum of £4 million, given his estimated market value is around £40 million.
As McTominay looks to solidify his future in Italy, Manchester United appears keen to focus on developing new talents to lead their attacking front, signaling a clear shift from the player who once represented them.
