It seems that there is quite a buzz around Scott McTominay's potential move from Manchester United. Rumors have been swirling about his future, with Fulham now back in talks with the Red Devils. There was talk of a potential transfer to Napoli, but now it seems like that may not be happening.
McTominay, a Scotland international, has been a key player for United but with less than a year left on his contract, it's no surprise that he has been linked with a move away. While United's manager Erik ten Hag is happy to keep him, the club is also eyeing top target Manuel Ugarte from PSG and selling McTominay could raise valuable funds.
Fulham has been interested in the 27-year-old for some time now, and earlier in the transfer window, they had two bids rejected by United. The Red Devils have made it clear that they value their player at upwards of £25million. However, recent reports suggest that McTominay may have had a change of heart and wants to stay in the Premier League.
This development has led Fulham to re-open talks with United, according to Sky Sports. The Cottagers are willing to make an improved offer if United is open to negotiating the asking price. It's worth noting that Napoli, who seemed to be the frontrunners for McTominay's signature, may now be out of the race due to complications with the sale of their player Victor Osimhen.
Fulham is not the only team interested in McTominay, as Crystal Palace and Brighton are also reportedly interested. This adds another layer of competition for the transfer, making it an even more intriguing situation.
Last season, McTominay nearly left Old Trafford for West Ham but ended up staying and having his best season to date. He scored 10 goals in 43 games, only behind Rasmus Hojlund and Bruno Fernandes in terms of goal-scoring for United. However, he has found himself on the bench for the first two games of this season, and it remains to be seen if he will feature in their upcoming match against Brighton.
Napoli's sporting director Giovanni Manna was unable to provide an update on their pursuit of McTominay, along with his Scotland teammate Billy Gilmour. He stated that they are both strong players, but the club is focused on their upcoming game before thinking about the transfer market.
It will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds, with many teams vying for McTominay's services. One thing is for sure, the 27-year-old midfielder has certainly caught the attention of many clubs with his impressive performances for Manchester United.
