Manchester United is nearing a deal to transfer midfielder Scott McTominay to Napoli. After being linked with a move to Fulham this summer, McTominay now looks set to join the Italian club.
According to The Athletic, a transfer fee of £25.4 million has been agreed, making it one of Manchester United’s highest transfer sales ever. McTominay, who has just one year left on his contract, is leaving the club at a good time financially.
Manchester United is working to improve its transfer strategy, which has faced criticism for past inefficiencies. Italian journalist Tancredi Palmeri has expressed surprise at the deal, noting that Manchester United has secured a strong financial outcome.
On X, Palmeri commented, “I never expected Manchester United to come out on top financially in a deal with Napoli.”
