Napoli are pushing to extend Scott McTominay’s contract to 2030 after 18 months of standout form. For bettors, a secured long-term deal suggests club stability and increased reliance on McTominay — expect Napoli title and player-goals/assists markets to shorten if talks conclude, though his current minor injury could temper short-term match bets.
Napoli move to tie Scott McTominay down after stellar start in Italy
Reports indicate Napoli are working to extend Scott McTominay’s current deal, with his agent recently in Naples to open formal talks with sporting director Giovanni Manna. The midfield powerhouse, signed from Manchester United for €30.5m in summer 2024, has become central to Napoli’s project and the club hopes to keep him in Naples until 2030.
Deal details and contract timeline
McTominay joined Napoli on a four-year contract that runs until summer 2028. The proposal on the table would add two years, extending his stay through the summer of 2030 and include an improved salary package reflecting his rapid rise to one of the league’s top performers.
On-field impact and statistics
Since arriving, McTominay has been a game-changer. He contributed 12 goals and six assists in Napoli’s title-winning campaign last season and has added 10 goals and four assists across Serie A and the Champions League so far this season. His form has put him in conversations for major individual awards and made him central to Napoli’s tactical plans.
Injury update
McTominay missed the last game and a half after pulling up during Napoli’s 3-2 win over Genoa. He is recovering and will not feature against Roma this weekend as the club manages his return to full fitness.
Betting implications and market impact
Securing McTominay long-term would likely shorten Napoli’s odds in title and champions-league markets by signalling squad stability and a continued core lineup.
Player-specific markets — first scorer, anytime scorer, and season goals/assists — could also move in McTominay’s favor if the extension is confirmed.
However, his current injury means short-term match markets should be approached with caution until he is declared fit.
Bettors should monitor official medical updates and the outcome of contract talks before committing to ante-post stakes.
What to watch next
Watch for confirmation of contract terms and official medical updates in the coming days. A signed extension will be a headline moment for Napoli’s transfer strategy; a prolonged recovery, however, could delay market reactions.
