Napoli is about to do something unbelievable with McTominay

Scott McTominay has turned into a symbol since joining Napoli, but the team from Naples is making other considerations regarding the Scottish midfielder.

According to recent reports, Napoli is facing an unimaginable decision about McTominay amid emerging transfer issues.

McTominay joined Napoli from Manchester United in 2024 for a fee of £25.7 million and immediately had a breakthrough debut season. He scored 13 goals across all competitions from midfield, playing a key role in Antonio Conte’s team winning their fourth Serie A title in history.

His impressive form earned McTominay the Player of the Season award and a spot on the Ballon d’Or shortlist. This season, the 29-year-old midfielder continues to deliver, netting 5 goals for Napoli. The southern Italian club currently trails the top spot by just 2 points and recently secured the Italian Super Cup after a 2-0 victory over Bologna in the final held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

However, just days after that triumph, La Gazzetta dello Sport (citing IlBianconero) reported that Napoli faces financial concerns. While Lazio is about to have its transfer ban lifted by an independent committee, Napoli and Pisa risk trouble due to breaches of the league’s financial regulations.

Specifically, Napoli is believed to have fallen below the 0.8 threshold required by the rules. Failure to meet this standard will hinder the club’s activity in the transfer market, forcing them to sell players to balance finances before signing new recruits.

In this context, with his value soaring, McTominay—one of Napoli’s most valuable assets—is seen as a prime candidate for sale to generate a significant transfer fee if the club faces financial restrictions.

According to Transfermarkt, McTominay’s current value is around €45 million, meaning Napoli could secure a substantial profit by parting ways with the Scottish midfielder. The situation might even worsen soon.

As the summer transfer window approaches, the regulatory threshold will drop to 0.7. If Napoli still fails to comply, the worst-case scenario could be a transfer ban. For a club with championship ambitions like Napoli, being barred from transfers would be a severe blow to their long-term goals.
