Real Madrid credited with surprise interest in Napoli star

La Liga giants Real Madrid have this weekend been tipped as a surprise potential landing spot for Napoli star Scott McTominay.

Scottish international McTominay has for his part long established himself as one of the standout midfielders in Italian football. Finally afforded the kind of long-term consistency he had so long craved at Manchester United, the 29-year-old has responded in stellar fashion.

In his new-look role as a box-crashing midfielder with an eye for goal, McTominay has followed up on his haul of 18 direct goal contributions last season with a further five goals to this point in the current campaign.

And such ongoing excellence, as alluded to above, has not gone at all unnoticed in Spain’s capital…

As per a report from Fichajes, citing sources in the Spanish media, McTominay has made his way onto the radar of none other than Real Madrid.

Amid ongoing uncertainty surrounding his long-term future in Naples, it has been reported that the Scot could be available on the cheap next summer, ahead of the expiration of his Partenopei contract terms in 2028.

And the brass at Real Madrid are amongst those keeping a close eye on the situation…
