Napoli insist there has been no offer for Scott McTominay and contract talks are not urgent, suggesting midfield stability — punters may avoid backing his transfer and instead target Napoli match markets or player-goal props. Loan signing Alisson Santos' quick impact boosts Napoli’s scoring options and could sway bets toward Napoli wins or over-goal markets.
Napoli: No Offers for Scott McTominay, Club Confirms
Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna has dismissed reports of incoming bids for Scott McTominay, saying the club have received "no offer" and that a new contract is not a current priority. Manna stressed that McTominay remains "an important player" for Napoli, happy in the city and under contract for another two years.
Contract Talks: Ongoing but Not Pressing
Manna confirmed there are conversations between the club and the player's camp, but negotiations are not at an advanced stage. With two years left on McTominay’s deal and no indication the player wants to leave, Napoli appear focused on stability in midfield rather than rushing an extension.
Sporting Context: League Position and Squad Planning
Currently third in Serie A, Napoli are balancing short-term performance with longer-term planning. Manna said the club are laying groundwork for the future and praised the work under coach Antonio Conte, noting the importance of measured decisions in transfer and contract policy.
