Scott McTominay earns less than expected at Napoli, but a substantial pay increase looms on the horizon. The midfielder left Manchester United in 2024, joining the Italian club on a four-year contract worth £25.7 million. He quickly became a star, helping Napoli secure the Serie A title in his debut season with 13 goals and six assists, earning the league’s MVP award.
Impressive Form Sparks Contract Talks
This season, the 29-year-old boasts 14 goal contributions, fueling discussions for a new deal. His current weekly wage sits at approximately £90,000, modest considering his impact since arriving. Negotiations underway promise a significant raise.
McTominay’s agent, Colin Murdock, recently met with Napoli officials to explore extending the contract, which expires in 2028. Reports point to a potential agreement running through 2030, with an option for an additional year.
Interest from Europe, But Naples Calls
Despite rumors of bids from Premier League and Saudi Pro League clubs, McTominay prioritizes remaining in Naples. Transfer expert Nicolo Schira highlights that staying with Napoli tops his list, quashing speculation of a return to Manchester United.
Manchester United’s Sell-On Clause Benefit
Manchester United included a 10% sell-on clause in the transfer. With Transfermarkt valuing McTominay at over £40 million, any future move could net the Red Devils at least £4 million. While fans might welcome his return, United focuses forward with players like Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo leading the attack.
