Napoli and Scott McTominay close in on a new contract agreement

Napoli and Scott McTominay are edging towards an agreement on a new contract, with discussions ongoing as the club seeks to secure the future of one of its most influential players. No deal has been completed: both sides are moving towards an understanding, but negotiations are still under way.

The Scotland international is contracted until 2028, so there is no immediate expiry date. However, the talks cannot remain unresolved indefinitely, given McTominay’s importance to the team. His standing within the squad is not in question.

The gap between the player’s demands and Napoli’s opening offer has narrowed, Il Mattino reports. The club must still balance its desire to keep McTominay with the need to manage its wage bill. The room available for a new deal will also depend on how its squad and wage commitments develop.
