Napoli Eyes Scott McTominay Contract Extension and Captaincy Role
Napoli is reportedly moving forward with plans to secure Scott McTominay's long-term future at the club, with a new contract offer that could see him take on a prominent leadership position, potentially as captain. The Scottish international midfielder, who joined last season after a seven-year spell with Premier League giants Manchester United, has evidently made a significant impact on the Neapolitan side.
The club recently concluded an internal assessment of McTominay’s performance and contribution, reaffirming their intent to extend his current deal, which is set to expire in 2028. At 29 years old, McTominay has emerged as one of Europe's most coveted midfielders, prompting Napoli to act swiftly to solidify his commitment before the summer transfer window opens and potentially attracts competition from other clubs.
Currently away on international duty with Scotland, McTominay is expected to commence discussions with Napoli upon his return. He has previously expressed a strong desire to continue his tenure in Naples, citing his and his family's fondness for the city and the club's environment, where he has experienced a notable resurgence in his career.
