Real Madrid, Manchester United monitoring Serie A midfielder who could cost €25-30 million – report According to reports from Calciomercato (h/t Bernabeu Digital ), Real Madrid are closely monitoring the situation of Scott McTominay at Napoli. The Scotland international could become available in the summer amid uncertainty over his contract situation, with Los Blancos among several clubs keeping an eye on developments. McTominay-Mourinho reunion? A product of the Manchester United academy, McTominay became a regular at Old Trafford precisely during Jose Mourinho’s managerial stint at the club. The 29-year-old midfielder developed a special bond with the now-Real Madrid manager, which might come into factor if the Merengues do decide to make a move for him in the summer.

McTominay is seeking an annual salary of up to €8 million, a demand that has complicated discussions with Napoli. As such, there is a possibility that the Serie A outfit decide to part ways with him next summer rather than risk losing him for nothing in 2028. The report even states that the Partenopei prepared to consider offers of between €25 million and €30 million for the Scotland international. No shortage of competition for McTominay However, Real Madrid are not alone in monitoring the midfielder’s situation. Manchester United have also expressed interest in the re-signing their 29-year-old star. A move back to Old Trafford could appeal to the Scottish international considering his past association with the club. Manchester United also interested in McTominay.

For Real Madrid, signing a proven midfielder like McTominay, whom Mourinho knows and trusts, could appeal strongly, especially given his contract situation. However, how he would fit into their scheme would be a major question, considering that Mourinho already has Jude Bellingham, Arda Guler, and Federico Valverde, who operate in similar roles. The Merengues could prefer a midfielder of a different profile, someone who is capable of controlling the game and dictating the tempo of their play from the centre.
