SSC Napoli wants to keep Scott McTominay around for a long time, and they’re willing to open the checkbook to prove it. The Italian club is reportedly preparing a contract extension that would nearly double the midfielder’s annual salary from €4.4M to €7M per season, tying him to Naples through 2030 with an option extending to 2031.
For a player who arrived from Manchester United just last summer for a fee exceeding €30M, that’s quite the vote of confidence.
The numbers behind the deal
McTominay’s current contract runs through June 2028, which in football terms means the clock is already ticking on his negotiating leverage. The proposed extension would add at least two more years to that timeline, potentially three if the 2031 option is exercised.
The salary jump is notable. Going from €4.4M (plus bonuses) to €7M per season would place McTominay among Napoli’s highest earners. For context, earlier proposals floated a more modest bump to around €5M, which tells you the club has gradually raised its offer as it became clear the midfielder’s value warranted more aggressive terms.
