Fabrizio Romano provides a fascinating update on Napoli’s pursuit of Scott McTominay and their discussions with Sofyan Amrabat.

As the transfer window approaches its deadline next Saturday, Manchester United face a crucial decision regarding Scott McTominay’s future.

The Scottish international has garnered interest from both Fulham and Napoli this summer, but United have so far opted to retain him. Fulham’s two bids for McTominay, including a £20 million offer, have been rejected, with United holding out for £25-£30 million. Napoli also entered the fray with a €25 million (£21 million) bid, which was also turned down by United despite McTominay’s apparent eagerness to work with Napoli’s manager, Antonio Conte.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Napoli’s pursuit of McTominay continues, with the Italian side looking to bolster their midfield with two new signings. Romano’s update reveals that Napoli’s interest in McTominay remains strong despite their bid being rejected. Napoli has reached an agreement in principle to sign Billy Gilmour, pending the finalization of his medical and travel arrangements. However, Napoli must decide whether to continue their push for McTominay or to focus on acquiring Sofyan Amrabat, another former United player.

Romano notes that Napoli’s decision will be pivotal, as they seek to strengthen their squad with two new midfielders. The final choice between McTominay and Amrabat will likely hinge on United’s ability to secure a replacement for McTominay. If United can bring in a new midfielder, it may pave the way for McTominay’s departure, potentially facilitating a move to Napoli.

In summary, Napoli’s ongoing interest in McTominay and their negotiations with Amrabat highlight the dynamic nature of the transfer window as clubs scramble to finalize their squads before the deadline.
