Max Johnston is linked with a transfer to Napoli, the Serie A champions. The club is interested in adding him to their team, which already includes Scottish players Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay. Johnston has expressed his desire to play at the highest level and sees moving to a club like Napoli as a step forward in his career. He has been performing well at Sturm Graz, particularly in the Champions League, and the club was always seen as a stepping stone for his development and future transfer.

Serie A champions Napoli are observing Johnston ahead of a potential move. Johnston could provide competition for the 31-year-old Giovanni de Lorenzo and join fellow Scots in Naples. Transfermarkt currently estimates his market value at 3.50 million euros.
