The transfer interest in Manchester United’s Scott McTominay has been a bit of a wild ride of late.
He’s easily been United’s most sellable asset on the back of his career best ten goals last season.
As a result teams like Everton, Spurs, Crystal Palace, Brighton and Fulham have all been interested in the Scotland international. Further afield, Napoli and Turkish sides Galatasaray and Fenerbahce have also been interested, with Galatasaray actually agreeing terms with the star.
However, Fulham were, until the start of the week, leading the race for the midfielder, being the only club to actually bid for McTominay, having two bids rejected.

On Monday Fulham met the asking price for McTominay before doing a shock U-turn, abandoning the deal and signing Sander Berge instead.
This left Serie A side, Napoli, as the front runners for the midfielder’s signature. The Italian club have been long-term fans of the Scot, hoping to lure him to Serie A for some time.
Now reports have emerged of Napoli launching their first bid for the 27-year-old.
Napoli’s initial bid for McTominay
Sky Sports have reported that Napoli have put in a bid for a loan deal with an obligation to buy, understood to be for the value of €25 million.
Whilst this falls under United’s valuation of €30 million, reports from Alfredo Pedulla have claimed that a meeting has taken place in the last two hours, and the deal for McTominay is “moving forwards”.
It’s also been announced that McTominay has given them priority, presumably meaning that he’s happy to agree to personal terms with the club.
With news that this deal is moving quickly, given the positivity of the meeting in the last couple of hours, no doubts we’ll hear more over the weekend.
