Now, reports from Rai via TuttoNapoli have announced that Fulham have now matched United’s asking price for the Scotland international.
However, it’s also known that McTominay would prefer a move to Napoli to work under new manager Antonio Conte, rather than moving to Craven Cottage.
Napoli’s sporting director, Giuntoli Manna, recently commented on the rumours of the Italian club pursuing the Scottish midfielder.
Ahead of Napoli’s 3-0 loss to Hellas Verona, Manna avoided queries around McTominay by saying: ”McTominay is a very good player, but he’s not our player so no comment.”
He added: “Full focus on the game and then we focus on transfers.”
However, it’s now emerged that this move from Fulham is forcing Napoli’s hand to advance their talks with United, so we shall soon see if a counter offer is submitted for the Serie A side.
