According to reports from Italy, Manchester United have a genuine chance to bring back midfielder Scott McTominay to Old Trafford in 2027. The Scottish player has made impressive strides since moving to Naples just over two years ago for £25.7 million, helping the team enjoy a triumphant debut season in Serie A. However, his future in Italy is now in doubt due to disagreements over a new contract.
Negotiations between the player’s representatives and Napoli’s hierarchy have reached an impasse after months of discussions. The 29-year-old midfielder is hoping to secure a long-term deal until 2030 with a salary of €8-9 million per season, which exceeds the financial limits of the Italian club. With the hierarchy unwilling to offer such a high wage to a player approaching 30, a departure in 2027 now seems quite likely.
Sources indicate that Manchester United and Aston Villa showed interest in bringing the midfielder back to the Premier League last summer. Both clubs are now prepared to reignite the battle for the player amidst Napoli’s firm stance. With his current contract running out in less than two years, the Italian side values him between €25 to €30 million, despite his impressive record of 37 goal involvements in 82 matches. McTominay himself is open to a return to English football, although he is also being closely monitored by Real Madrid. Currently, Scott McTominay has resumed training after successfully undergoing heart surgery.
