Italian journalist Giovanni Scotto stated that there is growing uncertainty over Scott McTominay’s future at Napoli. According to Scotto, McTominay has not renewed with the club and wants to reflect. The journalist also said that Manchester United and Aston Villa have shown some interest, but the player intends to wait. Napoli do not want to lose McTominay and will offer him a contract renewal with the possibility of leaving through a gentleman’s agreement. McTominay’s contract with Napoli runs until June 2028, and his refusal to sign an extension is increasing the chances of a transfer. Recent reports in the Italian media have stated that it is likely the Scot will leave for a new club next summer.

Journalist Sacha Tavolieri reports that Scott McTominay's agent has maintained close relationships with several Premier League sides. Reporting for Sky Sport, Tavolieri states McTominay could be considering a new chapter in England and was approached for a move to Aston Villa in the summer. According to the report, he will command a fee of between €25-30million (£21-25m). Multiple sources feel his time at Napoli is ending. McTominay himself is said to be nostalgic and very open to returning to the Premier League. Reports elsewhere suggest the wages McTominay earns in Naples are the primary reason his current club are willing to sell him, with only four players reported to earn more than his €107,000-per-week (£90.5k) salary. Tuttomercatoweb have stated that it is likely McTominay will leave in 2027, adding that Napoli are reluctant to pay high wages for a player who will soon turn 30.

According to Team Talk, Aston Villa have renewed their interest in Scott McTominay. Both Aston Villa and Manchester United are ready to resume negotiations now that Napoli’s strict contract position is not changing. Napoli only value the midfielder at between €25-30m (£21-25m).

According to Tuttomercato, Scott McTominay will probably leave Napoli at the end of next season, primarily because he will be 30 years old and have only one year left on his contract. The report indicates that if a renewal agreement is not reached, it will be the last summer for the club to register a capital gain. A renewal is currently considered unlikely because of the figures he is asking for. The valuation could be between 25 and 30 million, and the salary McTominay would want is around 8 million euros. The report also states that several clubs, including Aston Villa, asked for information about the player last summer.
