Work underway for McTominay contract extension at Napoli

Reports in Italy claim that work is underway for Scott McTominay to be rewarded with a new and improved contract at Napoli after a fantastic first 18 months in Serie A. 

Napoli hoping to tie McTominay down to new contract

McTominay joined Napoli from Manchester United in a €30.5m deal in the sur of 2024 and immediately established himself as one of the modern-day greats at the Stadio Maradona. In his first season in Naples, the Scotland international helped the Partenopei to their second Scudetto in three years and also claimed the division’s MVP award in the process. 

McTominay signed a four-year contract at the time of his transfer from Manchester United, expiring in the summer of 2028. 

According to reports from Corriere dello Sport, Napoli want to extend that agreement until the summer of 2030. 

Sunday’s report claims that McTominay’s agent has recently arrived in Naples for talks, and that he has already spoken with sporting director Giovanni Manna over the potential terms of a new contract extension. 

Specific salary figures have not yet been mentioned, but it is expected that McTominay would be rewarded with an improved set of personal terms after establishing himself as a Ballon d’Or candidate over the last year and a half. 

McTominay came up with 12 goals and six assists during Napoli’s title-winning campaign last season, and has gone on to provide 10 goals and four assists between Serie A and the Champions League so far this season. 

He has missed the last game and a half for Napoli after pulling up during the 3-2 victory over Genoa last weekend, and will not feature against Roma on Sunday afternoon as he continues his recovery.
