SSC Napoli are moving quickly to secure the long-term future of midfielder Scott McTominay, opening formal negotiations for a contract extension that would keep the Scottish international at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona until June 2030.
According to Italian outlet Corriere dello Sport, a key meeting took place in Italy between Napoli’s sporting director Giovanni Manna and McTominay’s agent Colin Murdoch, who flew in specifically to discuss the proposed deal. The talks signal Napoli’s strong intent to make the 29-year-old a cornerstone of their midfield project for years to come.
McTominay, who joined Napoli from Manchester United in the summer transfer window, has quickly become a central figure and earned widespread praise from fans and management for his performances and work ethic. Despite currently being sidelined with an injury, the club is acting behind the scenes to lock him down and ward off potential interest from other teams.
The proposed extension would significantly extend his current agreement, reflecting his growing importance to Antonio Conte’s squad as Napoli aim to build on their recent successes in Serie A.
No official confirmation has come from the club yet, but reports indicate positive momentum in the discussions as Napoli prioritize retaining one of their key summer signings.
